I wouldn't worry about not making friends. Everyone is a little scared to go to a country where they don't know anybody but I think you will see that most people, in most countries are good and you will make friends no problem.

Good luck,

Corey

lol Just be careful who you make friends with if you go to America. I by no means claim to really "love" my country and I'm really not proud of alot of things that they do. People in the US tend to take advantage of foriegners. Just to start you off, make sure you have a firm grasp of the monetary table. If you can't change US dollars into your own currency yet, you should study up on that so you can gauge the value. Soveiner vendor love people who don't know the value of the dollar and will charge you about $20 US Dollars for something they bought for around 1 or 2 dollars.
