Life in Gent

Neal here,  31, friendly and social, but don't know anyone here in Gent other than my Partner who's a local.  Looking to make some interesting new people of my own.

Really just looking to sink my teeth into life here and start loving it.

Not having a job is tough, I'm Canadian/Italian, but getting a tax number seems to be a big issue here, didn't expect that.  I think I should be getting my number this week...the Public Services called Manpower, and made them sign me up.  Very strange.
I'm looking to work in an office, in English, which I know might be tough...maybe I'll live in Ghent, but work in Brussels.  I hear It might be easier there.

I would love to find a tennis buddy/group for recreational play.

Other than that....just looking to be social, and find something to do with my days...tired of playing tourist on my own, but wouldn't be opposed to exploring with someone else.
