Hi ladies,

My name is Asma Nazeer and im here in Alviso for the past two months. Its very boring for me at the hotel looking at the four walls. Any ladies staying near by and would like to make friendship with me are welcome. I speak tamil, english and hindi. Im on H 4 visa here. REally miss my friends in india. I visit to Great mall every week. And im going to shift to an apartment in milpitas this month.

Thanks all.

Hey Asma and everyone else who is new,
Welcome to the Bay. I know it gets quite frustrating in the first few months. But you end up making your way around.
One of the most important things that I did after getting here, apart from setting up home and all, is get my drivers license. To get from point A to point B, you need to have your drivers license. So if you haven't started working on it, please do so. Trust me, makes life easy
Also, one of the other things I did was go knock on my neighbors door. I know it sounds kinda intimidating, but knowing your neighbors is the first step to making friends. And almost everyone in the Bay Area is a nice person and helpful too. It's kinda like networking!
I've been here since June last year and I started to work with a non profit organisation in a volunteer position, which is also one of the many things you could do while on the H4. Just google Volunteer work in the Bay Area and you'll find a list of organisations you could join.
If you aren't game for doing any kinda volunteer work, you know the libraries here have free membership right?
Hope this helps!! Just thought I'd pass on some of the knowledge I gained living here.
