Obviously you can make friendship with another people living in a foreign country. Cultural, Political or other Socio-economic differences do not come in the way of true friendship like in your real world. Do you only make friendship with people politically aligned with your views, or belonging to the same economic strata wherein you belong?
I have seen many people who have found great friends, even life partners, from online communities! Earlier, it would come in news stories but now because it happens so often, it does not get media attention. I can still recall story of two business partners who met after ten years of successful partnership over online networks.
Just be honest in presenting yourself. Wish you all the best.

Well! Just join some social networking sites like myspace or orkut - the one you are more comfortable with. Find the profiles that you like and request for a friendship. Tell about yourself in your profile as well as while making a request. Obviously, you will get some genuine friends. For acquiring their trusts, you need to be a good listener above all. Invite them to your IMs - interact with them frequently.
I'm lucky to get some really great friends from US through myspace. I talk to them over the net with the hope that someday I'll meet them in reality.

Hi! I believe all of us in the world can make friends with each other. The internet has brought all nations of the earth closer and it's easier to communicate with people accross the world now. Though there are differences, they don't really matter. As long as we all learn to respect each other's culture and beliefs. We don't have to abide by each other's respective social rules and norms but we only have to respect them. They say love is a universal language. Since friendship is another kind of love, I think friendship can surpass all.

I think that differences only matter if you make them matter.It would be a very boring world if we were all the same don't you think?
