If you move for a job, you're going to have co-workers pretty much right off the bat. Then there is church and you certainly start seeing the same faces over and over there. And whatever you do for activities -- going to a gym, riding horses, other sports, you're going to start having acquaintances and then friends quickly.

I think it's more like 3 months before you start feeling settled in.
It depends on the person. It usually takes me about a week to settle in. My point is that when you move, at least give it some time before call it quits.

Not everybody go to church. In some places, there's no church but temples and mosques. :-)
