If you've done much travelling where you're from, just treat it the way you'd treat building ties in any unfamiliar culture -- show an awareness and an interest in what they do, don't trample on any obvious social mores, help out where you can, and don't just stick to the expat bars... although I guess mine's the only actual expat bar.

Callahan's welcomes a mixed crowd, intentionally so, so if you want a chance to people-watch and find your bearings, the doors are open to you. I've also made a few trade deals to secure coffee.
