I've seen various recipes for it but most of them call for cream (I don't know what that is exactly) and/or buttermilk (can't find that either).

Maybe this article on cream will help:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cream
Sour cream is basically
soured cream, but preferably with the right kind of bacteria, so it can be a little difficult to recreate at home. AFAIK, Wikipedia also has articles on sour cream and buttermilk and that might help you to identify it further. Caveat: where I live, milk products, soured and otherwise are very common - I can't quite imagine what it might be like in your home place -but I hope my little advice will help you in your search.
