Benic dear, expatriates who come in this country are all in need of friends as they have left friends and relatives back where they came from. This makes the expatriate community kind, tolerable and helpful. You will be no different than other couples living here. Try to make the most out of your life here.

Welcome to QL. You are in the right place for help and advise as well for socialising!

May the roof above us never fall in, and may the friends below never fall out!
