[1] Living in a new country can be difficult for many different reasons. The biggest problems, however, are mostly differences in culture and language.

This is a country where welcoming anyone of a different nationality is a basic part of the culture and they quickly make newcomers feel at home. In fact, workers who go there on short contracts are refquently known to ask to stay longer.

[4] Cultures that enjoy having festivals make it easier to meet new people. People who like events full of energy might prefer to live in Korea. This country is famous for celebrating its culture, and there are plenty of opportunities to have a good time during these colorful events. There's no better way to make new friends.

[5] People who are tired of big, noisy cities may like Costa Rica. Life is slower there, and most people earn similar amounts of money.
