If you are planning on moving to a town or city for an extended period, say six to twelve months, you will no doubt be looking for somewhere to rent as it will be too expensive to stay in a hotel for such a long time.
Many people find that Furnished Properties are more suitable and convenient – although the furnishings might not be to your taste, it means that you do not have to start kitting out an unfurnished flat with everything from furniture to crockery and duvets.
It can be daunting to make friends at first, especially if you do not know anyone in the city and even more so if you do not speak the language fluently but look on it as an adventure. You will find that most people will be friendly if you make an effort to speak their language and you will be more widely accepted the better your language skills are.
Make an effort to integrate even the short time you are there and try to make the most of your experience by shopping in local markets and visiting local bars and restaurants. Not only will you learn more of the local culture but you are also far more likely to meet people and make friends.
Look on your stay as a learning experience, a real life adventure and make the most of it.
