Roller Coaster

A friend I work with shared this graph on her Facebook page. I had to copy it and share here because it explains visually what living abroad can feel like. The first week we arrived, we were told that come late September/October, the Honeymoon stage will end. It now makes sense. Our shock isn't as deep, but I am starting to think giving us a week off work in October is a planned strategy for International schools to remind people why they moved abroad. I know this past week for us, was a good reminder.....more on that to come.
