From an American who's been here about a month. The food is great. The family culture with my wife's family here is great. I can walk to the gym, stores, restaurants and feel safe in this city. Our apartment has become cozy. I have some comforts from America like my videogames, books, and cats. But the hardest thing to adjust to.... Slowly, slowly trying to adjust to it.... It's the DOGS that bark all night long. In America we call the police if dogs are barking loudly at night. Everyone accepts it here. And it's not just one dog but gangs of them. Barking barking barking all night long. And my wife is somehow used to it and sleeps like a baby. Earplugs help but it's also annoying to wear earplugs every night. Can I start a petition to reform dog culture here?
