I don't want to say I am depressed because I'm not. Complacent is a better word.
I have been living in a Scandinavian country for over a year now. I have enjoyed so many aspects of experiencing a new culture, learning the language, meeting women, etc...
Honestly, sometimes I just get fed up and frustrated with the drastic differences of culture.
I think my specific region where I am located beats people down in terms of quality and level of social interaction. People tend to keep their head down and avoid social interaction as much as possible. Especially in the winter...
Can anyone guess where I am yet?
Even as an outgoing person I find it tough to continually battle this social barrier.
Surely some of you have experienced similar things when living abroad.
So fellas:
How do you keep things fresh in a foreign country?
How do you continually stay motivated (work/women) when social pressure works totally against you?
OR...
Should I take this as a sign that it is time to re-locate?
