Ostrava plays host to foreign workers

This is an interesting story about expatriate adjustment of people who are not like the stereotypical American expats. 

AFP: Foreigners find their feet in gritty Czech city OSTRAVA, Czech Republic (AFP) — Fresh from her first Czech lesson and an accompanying headache, Kyoung Mi-Park poked at the chicken and boiled potatoes on her plate and pondered her family's difficult adjustment to life in a gritty Czech industrial city.

The 36-year old former elementary teacher and two daughters reluctantly left South Korea's second city Pusan to follow her husband on a five year mission to Ostrava, a place she had never heard of, where South Korean multinational Hyundai is establishing its first European car plant nearby.

Hi,

I know what it means to leave a country for another country. I lived in Canada then had to go to Italy with language problems and suffered for this. But after a few years I'm happy to live in Italy.

Adjustment to a foreign land may be dificult for some time but in due time, you will get used to it then eventually like it. I gues what really makes it difficult is homesickness.

Good luck, girl.

Hope her journey was worth it!

Hi,

probably people in Ostrava have never heard of Pusan.

Ostrava sounds interesting... is it Czech third biggest city? Praga- Brno - Ostrava?

 

Good bye.:
