Many
fancy the thought of venturing out to live in a foreign country. Yet,
shortly after arrival they are often faced with some of the cold realities
of living abroad. The fantasies of spending every day discovering
exotic foods and hidden treasures are replaced with discoveries such as
no hot water or electricity shortages. In fact, daily life abroad
can be both physically and emotionally draining. This may sound depressing,
but don't let it get you down. A living abroad experience,
as a whole, can be greatly enjoyed and valued. The key to this result
is handling day-to-day life. Learning how to keep your head above
water, or as I prefer to say to, how to stay AFLOAT, will enable you to
make the most of your abroad experience. Staying AFLOAT refers to
five essential principles for foreign living: Learn to Adapt, Be Flexible,
Observe, Have a Can-do Attitude and Be a Team Player.
