An Open invitation to all EBs

Hope you all are relaxed and chilling! 

We have been conducting Meet-ups every month since the past year for members of this forum. A couple of days back we successfully organized a trip to Jabal Akhdar.

10 of us from the forum actively participated to make it enjoyable and memorable.
We would like to invite more of you to come and join us for future gatherings and events.

Personally, I have benefitted a lot from this group as it gave me an opportunity to meet people from different nationalities and diverse backgrounds. Its  like a melting point of cultures. We have at present people from India, Philippines, Malaysia, Belgium, Egypt, Bangladesh and of course our very own Oman.

Generally the pattern here among the expats community is to make friends from our countries and stick to them. However, here on EB we get to meet people with varied backgrounds. So it's a great experience and an opportunity to enjoy as well as learn from people.

And believe me I was hesitant at first mostly being an introvert. But I forced myself to attend and here I am, really enjoying myself.

I would like to extend the same invitation to the other like-minded individuals who would like to explore and experience meeting complete strangers and making them friends for life.

However on a SERIOUS note:  We would want people to be committed to the essence and spirit of what this group represents. The feeling among us is that some people are not serious. They post and sound enthusiastic about coming. But they disappear as quickly as they write the post. For Such People : Please don't waste out time...

A lot of planning and work goes into organizing the trips so it would help to know the numbers. It really feels off    when you plan something for days and at the end of it people don't show up.

Of course something may come up and you may not be able to make it. There is no arguing that. But a simple message from you BEFORE or AFTER the event would make up for your absence. Just to let us know that you are indeed committed from your side.

So all you great people out there. On behalf of my friends (Amoor, Hexe, Ramee, Vido,Lau ..just to name a few) I extend this invitation to you all to try to experiment and actually see what it is like..

Hope to See you there the next time, 

Au Revoir
