It's OK to cry. Moving to a new area, let alone a foreign country, is overwhelming. And not to say anything bad...but one of the things I found out about living abroad is that it is just damn hard to get ANYTHING done. And no one seems to have the same time concept that we have. For the most part, in the USA, shit gets done and gets done quickly. This means the people doing the getting done are the ones with all the stress. Elsewhere - shit gets done when it gets done and not before. (Unless you know someone who had a cousin, who...) This means that the people wanting the getting done have all the stress.
Both systems cause stress - we are just used to it one way and you are expereincing it the other way.
