When I moved to the Southern Blue Ridge of the Appalachian Mountains I needed to assimilate, learn some new vocabulary, and be patient for many years until the locals realized they could trust me...only then did I start to participate more fully in that culture.

Again, like many here when I lived overseas it was the same thing the world opens up when you participate into the culture you live in...
