New friends - any takers? :-)

Hi everyone,

I have moved to Brisbane in September last year and actually struggling to get my social life going ...
I have to travel a lot for work and have a feeling people have given up on me as I have to cancel or refuse invitations.

So trying it via this forum :-)
I have met a really good friend this way when I moved to Singapore so I know it works.


Who is free for coffee one day?

Cheers
Shana

Hey Shana,
What part of Brisbane are you located. I moved here a few months ago as well. I have a really open schedule right now if you want to get together. Definitely a challenge so far to meet people so far!

Hi Andrea,

I'm living in the gabba. Really open schedule as well but in Asia at present for work - probably back around 20 feb.
would be nice to go for a coffee but have to say as well that I'm moving to Singapore in 2 months.
I agree that developping a social life in oz is not easy.

See you!

Hey, I'm also in the Brisbane area and finding meeting people on here is much harder than when I was in Russia. Are you around today?
