So things are not always easy living abroad. My excitement to be in Paris really does counterbalance a lot of the difficult aspects of living in a new city/culture/country. But I wanted to write a little bit about the not-so-pretty side of being a new expat ... in this city, and at this time in my life.
The reality is that I am truly a stranger here, who is still trying to figure out how to navigate even the simplest of tasks. Here are some of the things that I have found challenging over the past three weeks. Some are obvious, some are situational, and some are of my own making:
I know this is a huge list of trivial complaints, but it's also an honest account of the hard parts of my life right now. Don't be fooled into believing that life in Paris is all pastries and champagne. That would just be #Tafty. Note to dear readers: please kindly refrain from Google translating "bang trim" into French, or Yelping a local hair salon and leaving it in the comments section below. I am fully capable of doing these things as well; this post is simply an unedited compendium of frustrations I have encountered within my first three weeks living in a new country. Thanks! - The Management
