You learn things functioning in a foreign country that you either take for granted in your home country or never really think through. Here is our growing list:
1. Netflix, Hulu, nbc.com, cbs.com, abc.com don't allow you to stream videos abroad. (Well at least in Hong Kong). Canceled our now worthless Netflix account. Oh and that Apple TV is pretty much mothballed. Surprising the NFL does allow international live streaming for a fee.
2. When buying a small appliances don't assume it will be easy to figure out if the manual is written in Chinese with no accompaning graphics to demonstrate use. It took Katy and I 2 days to figure out how to use the Japanese humidifier.
3. Don't underestimate the sheer drain it has on you to work through these minor challenges every day. Katy and I now collapse at 8pm.
I am sure more to come....
