How do you overcome homesickness?

As for me, i really can't overcome the homesickness but I tried by spending time to watch tv, sleeping and reading.

Hi Floriza, i know what you mean... I'm not (yet) living in Dubai, but I also live outside of my home country, and I'm homesick every now and then... What helps me is phoning friends and family at home, but also getting a circle of good friends where I live. And I feel more and more at home here (in Switzerland). maybe this helps a bit --Stephan

Go for shopping, walk, listen to music, read books of your interest.

internet phones
interent videos - get them a video cam!
good ol phone calls

phase them out over time, fewer and fewer every week/month....make new friends, go out socialize, take up a hobby....

try to immerse yourself in your new culture and keep yourself busy! I find exploring is a easy way to keep me distracted. Its always hard in the beginning but soon enough you will be missing this place when you leave

I have no time to be bored! When I'm free I develop my conjurer skills. I meet my friends and enjoy them with my tricks. Also I like to watch comedies and to listen to disco music.
