Quite the opposite I think.
If you go to a small city the chances are much greater that the locals will treat you to dinner several times a week, offer to show you around, help you shop, describe their customs and support you in your needs.
I can't imagine getting the same level of support I received from the locals if I had lived in a large city.
But Zyzyfer, if you mean the support of other expats, then that may be, I dunno, but it seems from Internet chats that fellow foreigners can make it harder by playing the pity party and interpreting experiences in a negative light, rather than getting on with things and making the best of it.
When starting off, consider that the first three to six months will be interesting no matter where in the country one ends up. |
This is a thread about starting salaries. |
