I experienced this when I lived in Denmark many years ago. It was a wonderful place, and I loved my time there, but after a while, all the differences just get to be overload. 

I would think an American moving to someplace like China or Japan or India or Saudi Arabia would experience this much more than average because everything is SOOOOO different there than here--the people look different, the food is vastly different, the language, the customs, everything! 

That isn't to say living abroad isn't a great thing, because I think it's a tremendous thing to do, but there is an adjustment period,
