When living oversea When living oversea, we often get to think about what I have taken for granted. Everything including eating and wearing is no longer as simple as before. Living overseas is like being a baby. For me, getting used to how to use the bank service was one of the most difficult things. Concepts such as saving and account are quite different from my country, which made me a little confused. But most of all, I used to face the most difficult situation when something goes wrong. In my case, there was a problem with issuing the debit card. Obviously, the banker said there would be no problem with my online banking service, but in contrast to what he said, I was not able to log in to my account. It said I need to call the number provided, but again I was told to go to the nearest branch. Even at the bank, it took more than one hour to find the solution. It turned out to be the problem associated with the unusual system error. Albeit difficult, I believe things like this process will help me a lot adjust to life in a new environment. *Please correct my sentences more naturally! Thanks in advance :)

When living overseas

When living overseas, we often get to thinking about what Iwe (the pronoun here should agree with the pronoun you've used earlier in the sentence, if you want to say "what I have taken for granted" you should change the earlier part of the sentence to "I often get to thinking about") have taken for granted. Everything including eating and wearing (not sure what you mean by wearing in this context) is no longer as simple as before. Living overseas is like being a baby. For me, getting used to how to use the bank service was one of the most difficult things. Concepts such as savings and accounts are quite different to those from in my country, which made me a little confused. But most of all, I used to face find it the most difficult situation when something goes went wrong. In my case, there was a problem with issuing the debit card. Obviously, the banker said there would be no problem with my online banking service, but in contrast to what he said, I was not able to log in to my account. It said I needed to call the number provided, but again I was told to go to the nearest branch. Even at the bank, it took more than one hour to find the solution. It turned out to be the a problem associated with the an unusual system error. Albeit difficult, I believe things like this process experience, will help me a lot to adjust to life in a new environment.

The use of albeit in the last sentence is not incorrect but it is quite a formal word, and it sounds a bit rigid. If I were to re-write the sentence completely, I would probably say something along these lines:
Whilst it was a difficult situation at the time, I think experiences like these will help me with adjusting to life in a different country.

Good work and I hope your debit card is working now! :)

When living oversea

When living overseas, we often get to think about what we have taken for granted. Everything, including basic tasks like eating and buying clothes, is no longer as simple as before. Living overseas is like being a baby. For me, getting used to how to use the banks was one of the most difficult things. Concepts such as checking and savings accounts are quite different from my country, which made me a little confused. But most of all, I learned how to face difficult situations when something goes wrong. In my case, there was a problem with issuing the debit card. Obviously, the banker said there would be no problem with my online banking service, but in contrast to what he said, I found that I was not able to log in to my account. It said I need to call the number provided, but again, I was told to go to the nearest branch. Even at the bank, it took more than an hour to find the solution. It turned out to be the problem associated with an unusual system error. Albeit difficult, I believe experiences like these will help me adjust to life in a new environment.
