Default 24 and friendless

Hi I need your help, I am a 24 year old girl who moved here a month ago from London and while I love it and have a job in advertising and a place to live etc etc there is a massive hole missing at 6pm on a friday night / most nights when I am dying for a drink and some fun.

If anyone has any advice about how to make friends here please let me know...

- can't believe I have actually posted a link asking for friends... this is definitely something I shall be keeping from my mates in London!

Yep that's definitely the best site for the younger expat. You could also get involved in groups like Britcham (British Chamber of Commerce) and maybe the dragonboating teams, if that's your thing. I can put you in touch with people involved in both of those if you like.

the team is a real mixture. my wife played for them this season and she had never picked up a hockey stick in her life until 6 months ago.
if you make a couple of more posts on here you will be able to send/receive pm's. will then send you the details.

Good one, Inselaffen - you're well-placed to introduce her around town. Just one word of warning - 24, single girl? Keep her away from Bob

How have you been living there for 5 months with no job?

To OP: I'm in the same situation as you. I don't even know where to live anymore. The modern world is rats.
