How does a CIA spy in foreign territory make friends?

A spy in a foreign country makes friends just as you would make friends in the United States. You go to bars. You go to cocktail parties. You go to trade shows. Any sort of venue where people are milling about socializing, as a spy, you're going to use that venue as a way to meet as many people as possible, and to very quickly try to spot those people who might have access to information that you want.
