For all of you who have gone out of your hometown and made a living in a different city, you are well aware of the struggle. You go to a new city and spend half of your time learning the names of the roads, landmarks, local slang, and food items for the first couple of years. And only when you have perfected each one of these can you truly call yourself a resident of the city.
