So you did no research at all into the area you moved to before you upped
and moved?? Amazing.

Did you put yourself out to be friendly to them? Even the most curmudgeonly
country yokel like me cannot ignore a smiling face and a greeting.

Great, thanks. We can do without whinging townies.
Having lived abroad myself I found that doing some research into the place I
wanted to move to was useful, showing a willingness to adapt and attempt to
speak the language the same.
I have to say I live lived all over the world and never experienced such
unfriendliness as you have experienced.
