Tip #1: Ask other Expats

You might have some opportunities to meet other foreigners living in the city.

Don’t be afraid to ask them some practical questions that you haven’t found answers to.

Chances are, they’ve asked it before you, or are asking themselves the same question too.

Expats are generally eager to exchange information as we all try to figure our new situations together!
