transition: from a small town boy to a metropolitan trainee

That is a big change! I moved from a village of about 400 people to a small city of 140,000 people, but your change dwarfs that! Learning how to get around is the hardest thing, so I bought a map and just poked around until I felt comfortable with the new surroundings. There certainly are more job opportunities in larger cities, as well as lots of new places to explore. I hope you enjoy your new home, please let us know how you find it, ok?

Hi, so you are in Delhi right now. well, i would say kool place to be in. Specially if you are staying in south delhi(south-x girls are really great.aren't they). all that you have to learn is 2 most common words that all delities says.one starts with beh... other starts with beh..ke...delhi is ranked 24th in the world among the fashion and is one of the most crowded capital city of world.

Yes, I moved to the city from a smaller town about 30 years ago. I found it vibrant and exciting and loved the contact with so many other people, but now we are planning to move back to smaller village, as I am really ready to slow down now. The problem is, it has coincided with the credit crunch, but I am remaining positive. :-) Derek

yes an what a shock to my system I moved from Boston Mass where there was hustle an bustle to a very small town in florida I know u never heard of it it was call Belleview Fl an boy what a shock since then I moved to South Carolina an I love this little town I live in

Hi coolmailraj..will have to shorrten your name!! Yes I went through a similar transition but the other way around I live in the UK and used to live in London but my ex hubby wanted to move to the country, we did and my it was culture shock to me for about a year simply as the country life is so slow and shops etc shut at about 8pm..it was horrendous whereas we had moved from London a fast city pace which I was more used to and shops stayed open late...littleowl

Yup. I was moving from a small town to the one of big cities in Indonesia during my high school several years back. There is not much shock culture though because we have a pretty similar custom and tradition. However, there was still something that bother me like night life in the metropolitan city, gangster, etc.

kind of.. i grew up in a smaller town.. prob like 200,000 or less population and then moved to nashville tn (dunno the population but its not huge like other cities in the usa) and it still feels too small!! i think i have a hard time adjusting to small towns rather than how you are with big cities..

Hi coolmailraj, I came from a rustle and bustle of London town and then I moved to a loely country with hust a small town and I loved it, you can get used to it. Tamara

i certainly admire you, you could hardly have made a bigger change. How did this come about. My change was exactly the opposite, I went from city to country. This was difficult, after about 4 months of the country I went back to work in the city.

I moved from Italy to Australia when was only 10 years old and I remember it very well. I arrived here from a place that was totally different and I could not understand the language. I was placed in a normal school and I was devastated because when I lived in Italy I was quite a good student and suddenly I here I was. I could not even understand the teacher! The advantage of being a kid was that I learnt English within 3 months and over time I eventually adjusted to the change in lifestyle. I don't know how I would cope if I was to go through something like this now! I believe that whenever you start something new is it new location or a new job etc...you generally hate it at first because everything is so unfamiliar but if you stick it out you will find it will get a little easier every day and as you get to know people and make friends life will get real good before you know it. I have not been there but I hear Delhi is a great city to be in. Good luck to you and stay positive!

it will take some tiem but remember dont trust pl easily almost everyone has selfish motivees good luck happy lotting and have a nice day!
