Moved to a new country for work — how do you actually make friends after 30?
Three months in Seoul, plenty of colleagues, zero weekend plans. What worked for you that wasn't awkward?

Repetition beats events. Pick one thing that happens weekly at the same place — a run club, a language table, a Tuesday dinner — and just keep showing up for six weeks. Friendship is a byproduct of frequency.
Host something small yourself. Six people, one table. Being the organiser removes the awkwardness of being the newcomer.
