worlds freindlist countries.

I feel Qatar and UAE are the most expat freindly countries in the world. how come they score so low.
please read.
Canada is the most welcoming; almost 95% of respondents to HSBC Bank International's Expat Exploreer Survey, released today, said they have made friends with locals. In Germany, 92% were so lucky and in Australia 91% befriended those living there. The United Arab Emirates was found to be the most difficult for expats; only 54% of those surveyed said they'd made friends with locals

In using the word Canadian Native is deliberate calm, popular, and fair.

Just don't assume immediately, that the cannabis plant is the most common and favorite ornamental plant used for decoration or herbal treatment.

China,India and United Arab Emirates scored low overall because cultural differences from the West made integration difficult.
