I cope because It's what i enjoy doing.

I have friends and interests outside my job. When I work I prefer to be focus on the things I do; when I finish working I can enjoy the company and doing things that I like.

Hi guys

This question may not be related. However I wanted to know from personal and family point of view how it is like to relocate from India and live abroad .
Let's say Family consists of husband , wife and a kid . I understand we will get good facilities, education, cleanliness , good air etc , however I wanted to check whether people gel up easily in the new environment?
