Hi everyone

I'm 21 and recently moved to Berlin last month with my work. I don't know anybody over here and am finding it hard to meet people. I don't speak any German (yet) and would love to meet up with some others in a similar situation as me!

isisramonaauriel

Hey guys. So who's around for meeting for tea/coffee/whatever floats your boat one day this week? I'm suggesting around 2pm one day? And if anyone knows of a nice cafe or something - suggest it! Otherwise I guess we could meet somewhere and have a wander to search for somewhere.

akil_t

2pm!! I could come only during weekends in that time. Otherwise any evening is fine for me.

akil_t

Anyone has plans for going out tonight????

isisramonaauriel

Does anyone want to meet at some point tomorrow (Monday)? I am free all day so am up for doing something any time really.

Lilinka

akil_t

Evening is fine for me.

Hey to the thread members,

I am visiting Germany in between school and starting my job. Renting a place in Berlin for May.

Have not done a lot of international travel, just some in the Middle East and Africa. Hoping to enjoy my time while overseas, would love to meet a few people to help me find some fun and adventure.

I'll post again when I get into Berlin, but if anyone is interested in weekend trips to Scandinavia, Munich, hiking or biking, or maybe some exotic spices let me know!

jgs003

Hey everybody.

Been here almost two weeks but have been working so much I haven't had time to go meet people. I'd like to change that. Who's up for a drink tomorrow night? Let me know! :)

akil_t

I would like to join for a drink.

isisramonaauriel

I am but work evenings so won't be free until about 11pm. Would love to though if its that sort of time. Lets get this meet up thing rolling!

akil_t

After 11 pm is a good time in Berlin.....let's decide on a place and meet up.

isisramonaauriel

If no one knows of a good place, maybe we meet at a station or something and have a look together for somewhere?

akil_t

Good idea may be we can meet at alexanderplatz ?

jgs003

The Alexanderplatz station is huge. How about outside the front entrance of the Alexa mall, just next to Alexanderplatz station? What time do you guys want? 11? 1130? Bring any friends for sure!

akil_t

11:30 should be fine...I will ask my friends.

isisramonaauriel

11.30 is good for me. So outside Alexa yes? Anyone got distinctive features/clothing??
