Not the person you asked, but you need to understand this straight up: You will always be the foreigner. Period. If you don't want to stand out, and feel the need to blend in, you need to live where you grew up. That's that. Here's the thing, though. Being 'the foreigner' is not a bad thing. I grew up as the only white kid 99% of the people I interacted with had ever seen. Some of the smaller villages we travelled through, we had to enter/leave at night, because otherwise our simple presence would draw dangerously large crowds. No hyperbole. There were times I was sick and tired of it. But being the odd one out opened ten doors for every one it closed, and I got to meet an incredible variety of fascinating folks from around the world. That would have been impossible if I was just another member of the throng, too. There are literally billions of other humans out there, and even in the most different of cultures, you will be able to find friends. Even in places that see you as a permanent outsider. It takes work. But it is 100% worth it.
