People says
"When you are studying abroad, there are so many exciting things awaits you."
"When you are far away blended in some foreign cultures, you will be adapting."
"If you are a foreigner to some people, you shall be independent yourselves."
I'd say
The loneliness is enormous than excitements.
Till this day, I am still feel awkward to this very country.
And I'm perfectly sure I was more independent back then.
Enough said.
