Here's another thing about being a foreigner in Miami. You have plenty of visitors over. It doesn't matter how well they know you or how strong is the relationship between you and them. Miami is a great destination for visitors.
The good news is that, since it is not easy to have a great social life in Miami (at least not the way Europeans define social life), you always have company.
I was living in Zurich for 5 years and believe me, the amount of visitors who have booked a flight to Miami in the next 6 months is higher than those who actually visited me in Switzerland in the last 60 months!!!
Now, the common mistake they make is to come over during the summer, when they normally are on vacations. They do not expect the weather in Miami to be like it really is. So watching their faces as they leave the airport terminal and the humidity and the heat hits them is quite funny. And then the storms. It rains every single day here during the summer. And sometimes, it rains real hard. And hurricane season coincides with the summer season, so I won't be surprised if some of our visitors had to live through a hurricane with us here.
Somebody said that there is one thing worse than being a European in Miami. And that is being a European in Miami with a spare room...
But the truth is, bless you all. Thank you all. Our visitors.

Hello,Myself i come from Europe and travel the world... its easy to be a European in Miami Beach...not in Miami.. )
This made me laugh, but it's so true. I'm no longer a newbie to Miami -- and I'm not European -- but because of the "prime location" I'm in, I get a lot of visitors year after year. I even get to see a lot of old high school friends who come vacation here.
