(I’ve actually been looking for writing jobs with English publications as well!) I hope you’ll continue to write about your experiences there and I’ll certainly be looking for your updated opinion post:)

I think the city is so overcrowded with people that you don’t experience the value of the best of the city… We got very tired struggling to find place on the tram/metro, try to walk on a Sunday through hordes of people enjoying their own city :-)
Anyway, so yes, I do have sympathy with your first impressions!

I think it’s always a little weird when you first arrive somewhere (whether it’s to live or to visit), and it always takes a little time to find what makes that place “tick.” It’s a common refrain, but one ex-pats and visitors seems to always use: They city/country grew on me.
