There are 5 tips on “How to make yourself feel like at home and avoid home sick”.
1. Homeland recipe book. You get to learn and cook your own native dishes instead of having foreign foods every day. Every bite of the food brings you back the taste of your homeland.
2. Decorating your room. Those who are staying in hostel or renting a room, you can always decorate your room according to your preferences. It makes you feel homely. E.g. Flower stickers on the wall, poster, pictures of your family and friends.
3. Buy a lot of pillows. This will keep you warm as well as making you feel comfortable and safe. And a nice duvet does help as well.
4. Get to know the locals. Try making friends apart from you homeland friends. You may be surprise how much fun you might get. But be careful of who you are mixing with.
5. Keep yourself busy. Try finding something to do or spend more time on your studies. Since that is the whole purpose you went overseas. Read up some of the history of the place you currently reside. You will feel less alienated.
All the tips above are solely based on my own opinions. It may not be helpful for some people but there is no harm trying. Cheer mates!
p/s: I will be talking about Asian nerds in next post. =)
