I think you're underestimating just how trying a process that can be, and how alienating it is to adapt to a new culture, new food, new everything.

- raverbashing 10y agoYou're talking about two neighbouring countries, apart from language there are no major issues Besides, I've moved to Germany, from a more distant culture than French
- M_Grey 10y agoRight, they're practically identical... except for the language. And the culture. And the food, politics, etc... etc...
- raverbashing 10y agoIf you're lacking in historical knowledge then I can't help you Besides, most of the differences are non issues
- M_Grey 10y agoTo you? Maybe.
- raverbashing 10y agoAre you going to starve because in France they have Quiche and in Germany they have Schnitzel? But yes, I'm good at adapting
- M_Grey 10y agoI believe that you are, and in being so, have lost sight of just how bad most people are at it.
- patall 10y agoThe difference in culture may be there, but it is as big and sometimes much bigger between citys and countryside, regions and social classes. It may be a factor but the as I think main reason most people do not move is not any barrier in the different style of life but more so the fact of moving, getting a way from your sorroundings, friends, family etc. altogether
- threesixandnine 10y agoIt all depends on individuum. I moved two countries to-date that couldn't be more culturaly and language different. I did learn languages before I moved though. Both me and my wife adapted within a week.
