When I read your post I thought it was the story of my life. I totally understand what you've been through. Apparently 3 pages of people posting that they are in the same situation made you feel better..at least I feel better hearing that there's people out there in the same boat. I'm peruvian too, been in the states several times and I even lived in another country(Japan)which it was hard to adjust but to be honest this time is even worse. Like you there are times I just think I can't hold it anymore and I want to leave but oh boy! I got married to a great guy and I'm sure every sacrifice really worth it.
It's funny but I think the same about american food. Instead of complaining I thought: Well, there's good food too and a diversity of ingredients so I put aside any stereotype or rule and for example I cook some peruvian dishes with chili habanero. My husband love spicy food and he thinks it's amazing and he finally learned how to eat rice.. Somos peruanos sin arroz, no nos llenamos! . From what I read you are sad and depressive. It's true, the lack of family and friends, not knowing what to do because we just can't work without authorization, having so much free time, boredom, thinking too much because you are done with the cleaning, cooking and you just don't know what to do is depressing I know that but look at the bright side our country isn't perfect either it's becoming more dangerous and more chaotic considering years ago and it is so sad but a lot of incompetent people is always around.
*sigh* I wish visajourney create a forum to connect people who live in a certain area..
