Even for non-introvert people, it may be difficult to make friends when moving to a different country. When I was living in the US, it was quite hard for me to make american friends. Probably because of the language barrier, and also because the "natives" don't feel the urge to make new friends as they have groups of friends already. On the other hand, it was much easier to bond with other foreigners, especially people from my country or with similar culture. At least as a starting point, I think your best bet would be to find other asians who you could relate to. Besides that, just taking place in various activities will eventually help you to make friend (but it can take time). But not all activities are equal for that matter so you may need to try a few ones. For instance, I was in a swimming club where people barely talk to each other. And in a boxing class where I made a bunch of diverse friends. As for meeting women, online dating is the way to go I suppose. Living in New York, i was very surprised how easy it was. Actually, I found it much easier to find girlfriends than friends.
