The hardest part about adjusting to a new culture is changing your daily routine. Find the nearest grocery store, and visit it every Sunday. Find a coffee shop to visit every morning. Find your favorite lunch place and try to visit it a few times a week. Before you know it, you'll get to know the local shopkeepers and they'll get to know you. You'll also get to know locals as well as other students. More than anything else, when you wake up in the morning, you'll know exactly what to do and where to go. It will make the adjustment to a new culture much easier. My advice? Wait two months before making a judgment call on whether or not you like where you are. You'll be pleasantly surprised .
