drmana, answering your reply to my post.
I find this very sad. Why do those ladies not dare venture out? I mean if they like to stick to people of their own nationality, they may find them if they just make a bit of an effort?
Now, I am far from criticizing here, as I have no idea how those ladies think or live.
All I am saying is, as a fellow expat, I know life can be a bit tricky abroad, at least in the beginning. But just giving in and not doing anything seems a very sad option to me.
