How to make friends in Pennsylvania

I suppose the best way to meet people in rural Pa is find employment and work hard.Be aware you may be a bit of an oddity for the locals and they will coo over the accent and good looks (assuming you are a Scot)
Dont fall for any of that , keep the head down and work hard , save your money and you'll see a dramatic inprovement rapidly in lifestyle.
Americans love to yak , you really wont have any problems there as they adore the accent..no kidding.
As your lifestyle improves it wont pass notice , Americans like to see people get ahead , they really do and you'll soon find people warming to you.
Do be aware the city and perhaps outlying areas do have serious drug problems,much more severe than anything we've seen in the UK.
In light of that do be careful of the people you might be with,even the most normal and nice people might very well be carrying drugs which could put you in a compromised position should Law enforcement at any point get involved.
The Law takes a very dim view and rightly so.

This drug so many are hooked on is called meth , i dont know nor do i wish to anything about it other than its highly addictive and the death of many once fine people.
I believe they smoke it.

Be careful and watchful of your situation and enviroment,chose your friends carefully.Also be aware that Pa does have a concealed weapon law so pretty much anybody could be carrying a gun and you wont know it.

Get involved with the outdoors whether its skiing the poconos or boating and kayaking , 4 wheel atv , hiking , theres many organisations.Go hunting if you like deer meat.
Theres also forums on line for just about every hobby you can think of which is always a good way to make new friends.
