What do they learn the hard way? What do people struggle with, or what have they had to learn the hard way? My biggest was learning a new language again, since Ive lived in Switzerland as well.

Of course before I recommend anything I try it out so I picked up the phone and it asked me what I was looking for and what city and province.
