These things take time... and some people adjust quicker than others. I'm a slow one - I used to hate the holidays at university because of the removal - in fact part of the reason I did a phd was so I could stay put all year, for 3 years! Like the British, the Japanese are slow to form friendships - but I've always thought the Americans were quicker in general...they seem to jump into relationships so fast. But from what you are saying, it sounds like that's just a front, and that *real* friendships are just as slow for Americans... so, be patient - give it 3 years or so... :-) juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02591920483149775255noreply@blogger.com
