If there’s anything I know about, it’s living away from home.

No, it was not easy.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
I don’t know how people make it when they travel to countries that speak other languages. Like an English-speaking person going to China. Or a Spanish person (who doesn’t speak English) in America or Britain. But people are strong. I hope to be that strong some day.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
On that note, tomorrow’s show on <\/span>Moments With Mo<\/span><\/a><\/b> <\/span><\/span>focuses on expatriates in Africa: their social, business and family life. Every country has expatriates come within a prolonged period and return home, but in this episode, She looks at those living away. She speaks to Felicia, an American woman who decided to come live in Nigeria with her 5 children, after divorcing her African-American husband.<\/span><\/div>\n
