Three things I wish someone had told me before moving to China:
1. Your Chinese will be worse than you think for longer than you think. And that is completely okay.
2. The friends you make in the first three months will be different from the friends you actually keep. Both matter.
3. The discomfort you feel right now is not a sign that you made the wrong decision. It is a sign that you are growing.
What would you add to this list?
