I don't know if I could have done any better were I in the same situation dude. I think you did well to even go.
I guess everyone doesn't quite know how to interact yet or what the boundaries/guides to things are. There isn't a manual for these sort of things and if there were it'd probably be written in ingrish with bits missing anyway.
I think it's pretty understandable you felt how you did, the main thing is that you didn't explode on anyone there or anything like that, you were able to talk about it fairly openly afterwards and that's got to put things in a better position moving forwards. It's really early days still and you can't expect things to be A1-groovy straight off, but keeping communication open and honest has got to help things be better in future.
Emotional is a good thing dude, holding it in would only cause you more probs. Chucking big bloody man-hugs at you mate.
