Wine groups? by ladub
Anyone know of any wine groups or interested in forming one? I've been here and awhile and am losing some of my wine knowledge plus I just miss sitting around being a wine dork with other people.
Sounds good! Shall we say 6? That was the aforementioned and agreed perfect start time for wine drinking that clashed with my French class. Read More

Lots of restaurants, bars and coffee shops have wifi. Especially the expat and tourist places. That's definitely not something that you need to worry about. Although some places don't allow you to download, things like music and films. Yeah the ... Read More

I would definitely recommend wearing a helmet on a Moto. It's the easiest way to get around but make sure your health insurance covers moto accidents. There are a few. Anything goes really when driving. Doesn't seem to matter which lane your in or ... Read More
