I am not sure what your background is, or your age and if this is you first international living experience but I would recommend not to exclude all the wonderful people that make up the ex-pat community.

Thanks for replying, I really dont mind interacting with the locals and expats. Its meeting them in the first place that im finding difficult. im currently living with a local family until i get on my feet here. I dont know the language yet but im slowly learning This is my first international experience outside the US, and im currently enjoying it at the age of 24. Employment can be a struggle but thats another topic.
Thanks again.
