any suggestions?

[jinian]

I should find myself some native English speakers to hang out with. I don't want them, I want my friends, but I think I should have some in-person relaxing contact of some kind. All the Japanese folks are nice, my roommates are great, but I want conversations without that baseline of cultural/linguistic worry. I have no idea how to find such people. (Especially since I want them queer and about my age, not these annoying American undergrads.)

Still no internet at home and no word on whan it might happen.
