Hey,
This post is a bit overdue.
Ok, so you can't talk about politics or sports or other american type stuff. I can relate. I definitely don't know a whole lot about that stuff either.
But recently, I discovered a little trick to have conversations with people quite easily. The way to do this is to talk about people. To gossip. But not in a bad way. Ask about family members, room mates, co-workers, professors, all that sort of thing and get them talking. Again, the idea is not to gossip in a bad way, just to talk about other people and to learn about the people in their life.
My other tip is to not expect people to just come up to you and want to be your friend. This just doesn't happen very often. And it's not because there is anything wrong with you, it's just that people don't like being rejected.
hope that helps...
