I’ve heard from a lot of expats who reluctantly have to be relocated to Europe that it could be difficult to adapt back to life in European cities again, some told me they got ‘’spoiled’ by the feeling of safety in Seoul, Tokyo Shanghai or like Hongkong, also the convenience such as accessibility to supermarkets, convenient stores etc. There could be more but that’s all I can recall.
So did you find it difficult or challenging once you go back to live in Europe, after experiencing Asian cities for several years, if not, i would be interested to know why as well.
If someone has a lot of money and doesn’t need to work anymore, living in such big cities in Japan or Korea isn’t so bad. But if I have to work for a Korean or Japanese company… I wouldn’t go there and continue working in Europe.
I spent my childhood in Seoul for more than 10 years, but I feel more comfortable in Prague. There are too many people on the road, so I should always be careful not to hit other people, and drivers are very rude to pedestrians.
