Farideh, good to hear that you miss adelaide after living in the Gold Coast which from what I hear is supossed to be a very exciting place. May I ask, are you persian? My auntie is called Farideh!

Thanks for the invite Wendy. I met up with Pinkie and she told me you were lovely and so helpful! Told her I would be interested in coming to the next meet up. I will be working in North Adelaide on Friday. What time is the meet and Where? also how long will you all be down there for? I think it would be easier if i knew some people here. Its anoying because we actually have many friends and relatives in OZ but they are all in Sydney!


If anyone knows anything about starting businesses here I would greatly appreciate it.

Good to hear positive stuff about living in Adelaide
Hi Mitra, once you meet Wendy & the gang nobody measure's up with them, she is the best.
Gold Coast is really lovely place but its not for us, I never felt settle here, one day I'll be back.

Yes I am are you?

We budgeted also for being out of work for at least 12 mths, I got temp work also, then offered 2 governement positions, although very grateful of those jobs, not what I wanted, but i still took one of them to help with funds, hubby went for anything and everything, was just unlucky I suppose, some employers were very patronising and thought they had the power of a prime minister I found that most people in Adelaide reluctant to help,this is just my opinion, I didnt meet very many genuine ppl there, the few I did meet we stay in touch, Adelaide itself, is a lovely place to live!

This what I've found on the GC patronising & reluctant to help & if they can rip you off they will, never met bunch of crook people all in one city, & all those I met in SA was so helpful, how funny is that.

Yep its just unfortunate, you cant help the ppl you meet, makes you realise, your best to stay strong and not rely on anybody!

Still stand by what I say, adelaide is lovely, if you have the job you enjoy and a happy work/life balance

I dont doubt you, not every city, State or country is going to work everybody, we are lucky that we can move around, it must be very hard if you cant.

Salam, khoshal shod am! Their business is doing very well, everytime we are in there (every week, sad I know) its busy and there is a queue for the till. They have even started hiring belly daners for the restaurant! We havent been yet but plan to on a saturday. I know what u mean about the iranian food in london, its the best! but there, all the iranians know the best one from word of mouth so everyone goes there! Am keeping fingers crossed about this one. The lovely girl that works there told me that the chef is on of the best from Sydney (but u know how Iranians exagerate!) so will let u know once we have sampled their wares.

lol its so true about Iranians being so curious about things! We have no children, its just the 2 of us! Did you move here from London? What made u guys want to move? (also have iranian nosiness in my genes) We live in Kensington Gardens near Norwood. Its quite a nice area.

What is it about GC that you dont like (iranian nosiness again!)

LOOOOOOOOOOL, you are good, no wonder I'm missing you, missing your sense of humor, where is Julie I dont see her, is she checking that horse out? , is that the reason I have put on weight then, & that has nothing to do with me not going to the loo.
