Making Friends here

I have to admit it it's hard making friends here. I think even harder since this culture is too indirect say one thing and mean another. i've gotten use to it well sometimes I'm still bitter about it though. So when I first meet someone I look at their actions instead of what they say. but other than that it's hard to tell if someone likes you here or not because some people are too good at hiding their emotions. So I don't really trust people here nor approach them as in oppose to America. I'm starting to keep to myself and only befriend those that are into the the black,american and european culture. In other words, I befriend those that want to befriend me. The irony of it here is that even though there's so much indirectness there's also a lot of of japanese people that want to befriend foreigners like us. It's too the point where you can find 3-4 parties every month of a japanese/international exchange party! Not only that but there are language exchange communities where there are thousands and I do mean thousands of people that are members of it! So my advice to those that want to find friends befriend those that are into the western culture and that want to be your friend. Then things will happen. But I am very grateful and pleased that people want to befriend us here. It's not like in America where there's like "Befriend a Mexican" party every month hahah I know it's mean but you know what I mean though. So if you're here go to those international parties and join communities where there are literally thousands and look at the ads too! Because people aren't willing to come to you if you can't take advantage of their opportunities yourself!
