I was chatting to a consultant at work today who has moved country more than once in his life and he shared these pearls of wisdom with me: The Milestones of Homesickness.1. Six months - The impression of being on holiday fades and you're left in a strange country, feeling uncomfortable. You have the urge to get on a plane and just go home.
2. Three-Four years - This one is like a wall, you hit it and can come to a stop. This is when you have to decide whether you really want to live in this new country or not.
3. Ten years - Not as strong as the other two but, fuelled mostly by nostalgia, it's still pretty potent.

I don't know how relevant these will be to me but "forewarned is forearmed".
