Depending on where in Asia you come from, it may be way colder than you are used to, in the winter it is not uncommon for it to be -15 Celsius or below. Combined with lack of sun that can be hard. The population here is very small, less than one million people in the whole state, the largest city is about 50,000 people. If you like outdoor activities and can manage very cold and dark winters, Vermont might be for you.
