When I moved here it was my plan to learn from the locals and understand their cultures, I have done many research to differantiate them like the way they dress etc... I have met many already and they were very open with me and my family, opening their houses and offering me tea, having interesting conversations. The locals I have met so far are very warm and friendly.
I have been in many places like most of you here, and I find it very enriching to open your mind to different cultures. Now I hear a lot of negative posts, from narrow minded people, and I'm just sharing my experience to show those interested that this place is actually worth it, and in a few years it will be the place to be.
That's my modest opinion, we can agree to disagree but I'm very happy with this new turn in my career.
