Hi Everyone,

My name is Rebecca and I am English originally but have been living in Denmark the last 4 years. I work in the Oil industry (I know, I sold my soul!) and my next post is Uganda!! Is very exciting but also a little scary

I will be based in Kampala but in the field a lot also, just looking to meet some people, of all nationalities (I have lived in Switzerland and Australia also) especially as I will be moving alone.

Sounds like a fabulous place to live, would love to find some new peoples and even someone to show me the best hangouts.

I hear Bubbles is a favourite, I adore cricket and rugby and most sports in fact, am only slightly competitive

Love to hear from you all, seems a great network, Thanks! Bex

Hi Bex,

How are you getting on?!

I have also just moved here - a few weeks ago - and am keen to meet people to socialise and drink wine with ;-). Would be great to hear from you.

Hi Guys,

Thank you for your replies! My wonderful company decided (on the eve of my departure) that in fact I had to go offshore to do one last job. And consequently I am still in Denmark!

However I am expecting (still vague after last time) that I will be flying down to Kampala this thursday.

I will be working in the field quite often but am very keen to get to know the expat community in Kampala when I am around!

Think at this stage I will be living in the Mbuya area, as this is where our base is.

Will be in touch when I arrive!

Bex

Hi Bex,

Just got to Kampala about a week ago and don't know many people except from work. Would like to meet some like minded people to develop a social network here.

Cheers,
