Thats great news Jalyoka. Perhaps a gathering to celebrate your arrival would be nice.

Also plan another one for mid-August. That's when I plan to get to the Maldives.

Have you heard of the saying, If at first if you don't succeed, try again? - :P

Good luck with your gathering, ;)

jazzy851

There's been two - unfortunately, i missed them both as i was out of the country traveling :sosad:

I think such meet ups require alot of effort on the organiser' side.. :|

hehehe... :P that's soo sad..!

We here in Maldives,still on planning but never happen yet!
But for me,some I met already for coffee but it's just a 2 to 3 members,some are in the road just saying Hi' Hello'..! :D

The meetups sometimes start with small group gatherings, like you say 2 or 3, then as time goes along, others want to join in...and before you know it... it becomes an Expat.com meet up ;):P:cheers::cheers:

One way is to agree on a suitable day of each week or month and a central venue. Anyone who can attend comes over. That way there is no pressure on anyone to come and requires very little organizing. Some days it could perhaps be just 1 or 2 people. But at least it will get started off. [And by the time I get to Male', it would have started off :)]

My two cents :)

Agreed, lets plan for this Thursday around 5.30 at Seahouse for a cup of cofee or snaks.

What say ?

@ Jamil_ahmed - Thanks for the day, time and venue. Please lets keep this idea alive and anyone able please do try to make this meeting happen. I will get to Male' only mid August and will join once I get there.

@ Mooch - Yes lets hope this meeting goes ahead. Even if 2 people turn up its still worthwhile.

As jazzy851 says, even if we start small, over time this will build up and develop into a regular feature.

Best wishes to all.

You surely should try to make it. Totally different life in the Maldives. Nothing like Bahrain :)

You're probably right, the beaches there in Maldives look fantastic. The beaches here in Bahrain lack the beach outlook all together... :P  Worst of all is the sand storms here..like today sand all over Bahrain.. :(

Get togethers in Maldives probably has a nice atmosphere...so i may have to drop in if i'm in the region next time ;)

Farhaz
#28
Yes, jazzy...

The sand in Bahrain has been relentless. For the past two weeks :(  And the less said about beaches in Bahrain, the better. I went to Zallaq once in the last 14 years. Thats all. Do visit Maldives, preferably after Mid-August, by which time I too will be there.

I'm guessing Maldives has Ramadan too there? but i guess by Mid August it will be Eid? then there will be big celebrations and get togethers? :D:cheers:

Farhaz

Yes there is Ramadan there too. But from what I understand, resorts are relaxed in Maldives. Certainly we will be having celebrations in mid-August. If not for anything, the fact that I have reached their shores is enough cause to celebrate :D

Sounds like a valid reason :D:cheers:
