What are you missing in France?

I am guessing it all comes to expectations and the reasons why ....

We came to live in France because we hungered for a life of freedom in nature.... All our boxes were ticked !!

I knew from the beginning that you need to adapt to new circumstances. A bit like when you go to live in the village next to you, you still tend to go back to the shops you were used to.

So, yes of course, there were things we missed (mainly concerning food) but over time we discovered new stuff, got used to different things etc ...

So, do we miss something ? Nope ... people are people wherever you go and your tiny little kingdom that you build for yourself could be anywhere in the world ... it's about being content and adapting.

Hello,

Yes, living in France will of course miss the original place-Hong Kong, which is inevitable.  I will miss some family members, and I will miss the food, efficiency and convenience of Hong Kong.  In France, if you want to eat the food you miss, you can only cook it by yourself.  What I am most unaccustomed to is that French document processing is too inefficient. It seems that I was born in a fast-paced place in the end.  There is no other way but to follow the customs in french, which is also to be respected.  Hong Kong people have no restrictions in this regard-French celebrations or traditions are free to choose whether to participate or not.  The last thing is the language. I can't live here and I can't speak French, minimum a little bit. I can only speak it hard, even if my pronunciation is not good.
