Hi

I arrived in Brisbane 31st on my own from scotland to work at the Royal brisbane hospital, staying in Kelvin Grove. Currently i havent really met any1, i am in my early 20's and looking for people to hang about with or any ideas of how to meet people as i dont start work for a few weeks. I have been exploring the city but not much fun on your own

any ideas welcome, if not have a nice day!

Get yourself on facebook - join the australia network and then start zoosking! or there's plenty other applications which will put you in touch with folk. Try myspace as well and search for people in your area. Good luck and dont let it get you down!

I would seriously give Myspace and Facebook a miss.

If you search for friends virtually, you end up with virtually nothing, virtually alone, and virtually heartbroken or worse.

Join up with a social club, or find something in your area, that is of interest to you, and make friends the old fashioned way, slowly but surely and at a comfortable and controllable speed.

Ste ( good Luck )

go to the elephant and wheelbarrow in fortitude valley, not far by taxi for you, then just start your night from there. lots of early 20's scene around there, can get a bit hectic, but also good place to start socializing.. have fun and hope you enjoy oz

Maybe try palace backpackers in the city (near central station).

Also, I'd consider getting a part time job in a bar or a pub.

Also- I'd sign up for some sports/clubs/etc....surfing, rockclimbing, running.

good luck ! you'll be fine.

Avoid 'Down Under Bar' though... vile!

My (sort of) cousin lives in Brisbane. She is Aussie, but her dad (my dad's cousin) is Scottish.

She's 22 and a nurse... I'm sure she'd be happy to meet up! PM me and I pass on details...

Hi There,

Yes join facebook. You will meet lots of young people there. Lots of young ones go down to the valley at Brisbane at weekends, GPO. Monestry. The GPO is a good place quiet big & more classy,

You can see it on the net, GPO Valley. Hope you get settled & meet so nice people.Good luck

Do something that you enjoy doing. I have a lovely friend I met through learning French at Alliance Francaise. She became my "French movie buddy" and then eventually became a very good friend.

I also made some lovely friends through a 5 session "bronze medallion" swimming course.

I don't know if there is a meetup web site for Brisbane?

Move into a friendly, shared house?

Just a few ideas.

I watched a programme on the news the other day, of ani ageing stuff, and oxygen facials are on the up, Madonna swears by them, so is Haemaroihd cream. ( cant spell , so PILES PASTE )
