disadvantage

they need to understand and speak another language, live far from their family and sometime feel lonely, have no one to confide in

Homesickness: Far from family => there's no direct support from family and friends =(phones / make video calls to keep in touch).

=> independent of family (because they have to fend for themselves: to take care of and provide for yourself without depending on anyone else:) -> struggles => mental issues

Culture shock:

New environment->hard to intergrate into the community, lifestyle and food.

-> feel lonely, negative effect on psychological

Costly

Living expense is so expensive -> dùng high sẽ hợp hơn vì mình nói là chi phí cao, chứ không nói là đắt (nói đắt trong TV thôi)

-> great financial burden -> find it difficult to make ends meet (xoay sở kiếm sống).
