the thing about some expats is that when they move to another country, they expect it to be the same as where they came from. and when things get a little different and it causes them inconveniences, they begin to whine and compare.
the reality is that - laws are different, culture is different, food is different, things are different as compared to what people are used to back home.
don't ya get a little frustrated when people when people start b***ing that "Back home in NYC, in London or in Timbuktu we do things this way "... etc etc
so yeah you should have gone to this forum for advise even before you considered moving out of your country.
for the rest of us who ventured to a new country, we just find ways around it and live with it.
