[QUOTE=Meow;10479887]Also, don't assume that the people you meet when you first arrive will be friends forever. /QUOTE]
Rule of thumb, the first person you ever meet somewhere you will never remain friends with. This can probably be expanded somewhat to go for a whole group really.

AbDabz, Steve,
my wife and i moved here 3 months ago and are just about settled now. AD looks a bit difficult to socialise as most people tend to go to Dubai on the weekend. We tend to do that too now. happy to meet people here for coffee or drinks.

Re: Help - Bored in Abu Dhabi!
Me & the Mrs arrived in Abu Dhabi a few months ago and have been working hard at getting settled and putting in some long hours at work.
Things are now calmer and we'd like to get out and about and socialise a bit more. We're mid-30s, no kids, from London, normal interests like restaurants, bars, sports, DVD watching etc. It'd be good to hear of any tips for meeting similar people in Abu Dhabi. Nothing dodgey, just to go out for a beer now and then, go watch football in one of the bars, get some good grub.
If anyone else is at a loose end or just arrived, please let us know - we're average to good company!

Re: Help - Bored in Abu Dhabi!
I run the Abu Dhabi Social Lubrication Via Inebriation club (we're on facebook)...usually arrange a drink after work and the odd brunch once or twice a month. We have a good, mixed crowd of mostly westerners but we accept anyone over 21 who isn't a complete Muppet and it's all above board. My company also arranges Wine & Cheese and Golf events too.
