Good points to consider. Cross culture can be complicated, especially when the new place is very family or tribe oriented. You’re either born into it, or not. When push comes to shove, you get the shove, not a cousin! Even in the US you can run into that in a milder form. There are ex-pat communities in many places. But I imagine that if one person in the community makes a bad name the whole community will get to wear it.
