Harut,
What you said is so true. Its very hard to make and specially keep friends in US. Most people get carried away with all opportunities here and become very materialistic. There is the pressure of having the best of everything, the most expensive cars amongs the friends and so forth. Everyone is under pressure of driving that nice car to show off that its just so stupid. People will go over their head and not to mention up to their ears in debt just to fell long they belong or to fit in.
Anyway, good friends are hard to find/keep.
I've gone through many different group of friends, and out of all I have may be kept 3-4. Some groups can't have fun until there's alocohol involved and so on.
Chem uzum glukh tzavatznem, you guys get the point.
