What did/do you miss living outside your home country?
My best friends got married last year and moved from Russia to <yobject id="3a5d52cb28d5e9d235e533a463f81c07650oCgdydXcyODQzGAKaANMy" data-yobjectid="0oCgdydXcyODQzGAKaANMy" data-yobjectbegin="65" data-yobjectlength="7" data-hashcode="3a5d52cb28d5e9d235e533a463f81c07" data-reqid="C3AE4F15-2AA1-4236-8C37-4E7904330F05/baf921ec233cdaf884b49dfcb981e525">Morocco</yobject>, where they were offered a good job. This summer I visited them, and the bag I brought from Moscow was full of those tasty things you won't find in Africa. And, along with salted fish, few bottles of birch juice and other goodies, there were some paper books in Russian, of course:)
Now the time comes to think of birthday presents for my friends, and I've just thought to ask you for any ideas. It should be something not too heavy nor fragile to send it by post...
Aside from this story, I think, it's a quite good topic in general. I've never lived anywhere outside my home country for more than three weeks. Have you? How does it feel in the first months, and how does it change with time?
