ho-hum... 
"About the same as meeting people in America. We're all different, and yet the same."
How I did it: I lived in a Navy town (Groton, CT), and military played an important role in growing up, as did divorce. I met plenty of people from different countries who came and went and moved here and there, until I myself left the state.
Lessons & tips: Pen pals. Not e-mails, but actual pen pals. Don't be afraid/don't be a pussy. Writing letters overseas does not make you a terrorist.
