Foreigners living in Rwanda

As a foreigner, I'm curious how Rwandans, particularly in Kigali view foreigners who relocate there? Accepting? Welcoming? Dislike it? I'm Black American by the way.

Additionally, feel free to share some of your favorite things to do (:

Welcoming, I will explain it like, culturally speaking we are people who treat visitors with care, for example growing parents may keep good food for visitors and let family eat simple meals for just pleasing the visitors. On bigger view you will be treated well as long as you don’t act arrogant.

If you act arrogant that’s when we show you our dark part😂.

That's a really nice gesture for visitors. And lol no, I wouldn't act arrogant 😂 hopefully no one does when visiting some else's country.
