I live in Kamloops
Dear all
I would like to introduce myself as I am new to this, I came to Kamloops in July 07 after waiting 3 years to emmigrate to Canada, I am really struggling with meeting people and feel quite lonely at times. I was wondering if anyone new to the country lives near me or I can start some nice chats with people going through the same as me.

Re: I live in Kamloops
Hi there...
I have a pen-friend (well... digi-friend!) in Kamloops and she's trying to persuade me to come there rather than my chosen destination of Regina, Saskatchewan. From the photos, it looks beautiful there. I hope you're not lonely too long.

Re: I live in Kamloops
Hi
Ive lived in loads of places.
Here's what I do. It's not for everyone. Im a bit of a one-off.
Sorry if my suggestions are a bit "blokey".
1. Join football/rugby/karate/boxing/swimming club(s).
2. Do a night class. Or day class. Or whatever.
3. Buy the local bartender drinks in exchange for information. Choose a quiet night.
4. Join internet dating site (they're only people like you and me!)
5. Go up to strangers and ask them an "im new in town" question.
Remember -
1. Canadians like to help folk out
2. Once they hear the accent they'll ask where you're from and - BAM - you're chatting
3. ALWAYS thank them for their help/time etc.
4. If they ask for your number pretend you are so new it isnt connected yet - but do get their number or email.
5. If you meet again, go for well lit public places
Get a job. ANY job. If you already have one organise a work BBQ, night out, trip, 5-a-side - whatever it takes. Ask your boss or HR for help meeting the other people.
In six months from now you'll be laughing. Good luck.
