I know the feeling. I moved to India from America and have been here a year.
The best thing to do is try to make friends in your area by joining organizations, church, or even at work. It will take a while, as you are new to the area but just try not to be shy and talk to people.
Also, it helps to keep in touch with old friends and family by instant messeging, phone, and emails.

Get out and meet people. Get involved at church or volunteer organizations like the Red Cross. Volunteer at the local hospital. Join a bowling league or soccer league. Check with the local YMCA and local recreation department. If you're female go to Curves. If you're male, go to the local gym and workout. Sign up for an English as second language course. or something like that. You'll find other people who are dealing with the same things you are. Always explain that you are new in town and haven't met many people yet. Ask a lot of questions. People love to talk about themselves. When my daughter arrived at college she baked cookies and gave some to everyone on her floor. Amazing what conversations and greetings came from that. Find a way to do favors for people and one thing will lead to the next. I f you are lonely, you can find chat rooms about things that interest you and at least have someone to converse with. Whatever you do, don't be a turtle- come out of your shell and take a chance. Good Luck!

Keep yourself busy, read, watch tv, take up a hobbie, do something you've always wanted to do and never had time. Sometimes I wish I could be alone for a week or two or three or....lol! I say enjoy it do some soul searching be happy. Look at it as a good thing and you can make new firends a well.

The best way is to go to a church that you are affiliated with and you will meet friends who have the same beliefs you do. You'll make new friends, things won't seem so lonely anymore and then you'll soon forget. Do you friends email you? Its important to keep in touch with people that you love all over the world
God bless you.....

Go to a bar and meet people. Or, maybe take a class at a university, or get a job and meet people that way.
