Why not throw anywhere
A Life / / December 19, 2019
The economies of the former Soviet Union is now in a deplorable state. Prices rise, closing businesses, cut budget spending. All of this leads many to think about moving to another country for permanent residence. And I think that it should not do. And I can explain why.
Cost of living
Despite the higher prices, today the cost of living in Russia or Ukraine is much lower than, say, in Italy. Only the payment of utility services in Europe covers the costs of the average person in Russia for a month. Public transportation is also 10 times cheaper than, for example, in Germany.
But with food is a little more interesting. If European products prices are almost equal to Russian and Ukrainian, then that's their quality varies considerably. And, surprisingly, not in favor of Europe. For example, the Ukrainian milk is really at times tastier than the European. Of course, I'm talking about the store products, rather than rural.
Lost in translation
In order to live in another country, you have to learn a foreign language
. Domestic level will need at least six months of language learning. To understand all the subtleties in the financial and public institutions - even more. And all this is given at times very difficult.Whatever the level of foreign language, the mother tongue remains native.
Never English, German, Spanish or any other language will not be for you "like home". After a long stay in another country among people speaking a foreign language, you will be happy to find a place where you can enjoy the sounds of his native language.
Parents and friends
Go to another country, you lose friends and acquaintances. Yes, they can continue to communicate through social networks and various messengers. But it's not that. You can not call your friend Mishka and call him a beer on a Saturday night. You will not be able to gather a great company of old friends to play table games.
It is also the homeland remain your relatives and parents. Unless, of course, you can not take them with you. Especially you will miss their parents. Skype can not you replace live communication and opportunities to embrace his own mother.
All around the native
You grew up here. Here you go to kindergarten, then the school, the university, and settled on the first job. You know how it works here. You know what to do and how. You know the important laws of the state and know what not to do and what is possible.
Do you already have or have yet to have children, and you will need to give them to the kindergarten, school and university. And here, in the homeland, you know what you need to do. But in other countries, you have to get acquainted with all the first time. You will not know what is good and what is bad. You have to step on the rake thousands.
In a foreign country you will always be a stranger. And no matter how many in this country is home to migrants. You will never leave the impression that you are not at ease. And remember: crisis - a unique time of unique opportunities.
