OK, I saw this too late, but it's funny enough to still post.

Would have made a great April fools!

Friends – The debate and planning for how to integrate and assimilate foreign residents is continuing.  The latest proposal is based on the idea that making friends interculturally is a good way to gauge whether an extranjero has settled into the culture. So you need to go out and make local friends – one per year of residence starting after 2 years of permanent residency.  (And no, your cleaning lady won’t count.)  There will be an on-line form to be filled out by the Cuencano describing the nature of the friendship and if there is a monetary relationship, which if it is too significant to the local, will mean that’s an employee and not a friend.  Locals can’t fill out forms for more than 10 extranjeros.  <I’m sure you will be able to buy some friends if you don’t have any.>*
