海角社区

I don't really care about making friends with either local or expat people in Indonesia, although when I was single it was different as local friends are really easy to find when you are an expat. Some of the expats I have met here turned out to be twats or just disappeared, perhaps died or returned home or moved elsewhere. I don't miss them.

Being married with kids, I just don't find local people interesting enough to be friends with. I mean what is the point? Having a family and a few friends back home is enough for me. Actually all my life I've never really needed friends. But sure, there are cultural difference. There's a small restaurant near where I live and two Chinese guys who speak English like to talk with me. They talked about wanting to do business, but I see right through them and have zero interest. They'll talk about anything no matter how unimportant.

Since I've spent most of my life living overseas, I have a very few close friends and we continue to be friends. A few others from work or university are not close at all.

I don't care about making friends with expats here in Indonesia. In my opinion, most of the expats here think a lot about themselves and are not very genuine.

Basically I am not really interested in making new friends, either local or expat. Family and my closer friends from home as well as my siblings is enough. Probably young single expats might feel differently.
