Do you/your SO hang out w/ people from home country?

[bora bora 1]

My husband and I just made friends with our neighbors - who are also from Brazil. This is the first time he really spends time with Brazilians (he has met more through them) and he seems quite happy.

What about you/your SO?

[Jenn! 918]

Yes, my husband has quite a few Moroccan friends here.

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

Yeah... plenty. About a third of the people in our neighborhood are Indian and I have many Indian friends, who we hang out with...

[homesick_american 1]

I'm hoping we can meet some Brits in DFW...as long as they don't endlessly slag off the USA. That's not what someone wants to hear as soon as they've emigrated.

Sujeet's manager at work is from India. They have become buddies, but only at work. Besides that, we are never around Indians. Sujeet has mixed feelings. He doesn't feel like he fits in with the Indian community here(I don't either), but he also misses being around the aspects of the culture like the food (which we can just make at home but it's not as yummy as an Indian mom's food I bet).

my fiance doesn't really want to meet moroccans once he's here. but thats all talk. maybe when he arrives he'll change his mind. but if we're in LA i'm not too sure that there's a significant moroccan population there. here in NY there is for sure.

nope, I did exchange a few emails with someone who was from Canada and lived in the LA area but I haven't heard from her in awhile...

[KarenCee 3]

There isn't anyone Canadian in our area for him to hang out with. We do know of another Can/Am couple that live about two hours away and we've gotten together with them once already and possibly will again in about two weeks.

I've met a couple of brazilians here but I don't hang out with them, I'm not friends with them.

I have so many Ghanaian friends here and my fiance is in touch with all of them so when he comes here he won't have any trouble feeling at home

She isn't here yet but I am assuming there won't be a huge Thai community in and around the Tucson area.

[Nancy2015 2]

No.

Edit: I've met a few Russian people here, and I found them horrible. I'm not interested in being with people from my country anyways - I was interested in expanding my horizons and getting to know people of other cultures when I came here as a student, and it hasn't changed.

He goes to a Portuguese language meet-up sometimes, but that's it. He would prefer to meet some people from different places. I chose "no" because he doesn't hang out with any of those people outside of the group.

I have a mixture of Liberian friends and American friends. I have found a great group of Liberians for my fiance to meet when he gets here. He says he loves connecting with people from his own country and would love to be around them.

My fiancee has met a firend from his home that he hangs out with, I think it's great it helps with his adjustment.
