Summary

This expat's story reflects on the process of adjusting to a new environment, moving from initial aversion to confronting the presence of cockroaches. The narrative highlights the shift from panic and wanting to leave to a calm observation and acceptance of these creatures. The practical takeaway is that with time and experience, one can adapt to a different way of life, not by lowering standards, but by becoming accustomed to new realities, much like children camping accept the imperfections of their surroundings due to the joy of the experience.
