Yes, I do. I like the freshness. I think it is also a good chance for me to make new friends.

First,find a job. That will help you locate in a fixed place. You will feel that you have your own place in this new city. And then, try to go around whenever you are free, such as parks, any sight spot in that city. That will help you be familar to city. Besides,if possible, join in a club which your are interested in. And be sure that club is not too far from your location. From that club you will find more friends that are local and outlander.

Those are what I can think out. I am also a outlander for Beijing. I am getting used to here.

Live in a strange place, in a new city, I think that making more friends is your urgent affaires,
But how to make friends?
You should know well your interest, and in this way, to find some person who has the same interest with you, such as, you can to do more sports which you like, and then you'll find someone also like the sport, so you are friend.
it's very easy, isn't it?

everyone what you said is right, i was in such a sitituation. but if you want to make a drastic change in your life, i feel that you should have intergrity,independance.and then you will be learned more than others.

i can't bear to live in a strange city.
i finish my university in Shanghai, and many classmates work in Shanghai. i remember when we graduated, graduation office in our university offered me a very good job with higher salary in a large company in Guangzhou. i refused without much hesitation.
i can't imagine to live in a city with no friends. i have to stay at home alone, go shopping alone, do anything alone, what's more, i can't understand the lacal language Cantonese. this is really terrible.

for another,make friends with as more people as you can.
last but not least,take active part in more society activities.
