The first three months felt much harder than our normal life now. Do not judge the whole city during setup mode. The city is safe and convenient, but convenience does not erase language barriers, fine dust days, or the emotional weight of starting over. Also listen to the person in the family who is least excited. They often see the problem everyone else is trying to ignore. It did get easier, but not because everything became perfect. It got easier because we stopped expecting the move to solve every problem.
