If you are going to mix with 'locals'.... be quadruply careful. Don't ask why.. too long to explain. In one way or the other you'll suddenly discover they're ar*eholes disguised as humans. Of course, again, there are a few who are not (maybe 10%).
I little too rough on people there. My few is 90% are great good people, perhaps 10% or less are the bad apples. Generally, even with people I don't agree with (way too many war mongering right wingers in this world blinded by right wing agendas and right wing disguised as left wing agendas) but they are all geenrally good people and when push comes to shove, they will do the right thing.
