Default Want to make friends

Hi there everyone!
My husband and I are from Australia.
We're moving to Winnipeg by end of this month for work.
We're looking for other couples and families to become friends with.
We have a 3 year old daughter.

We're down to earth, friendly people and looking for similar people.

Anyone couples or family interested to meet for coffee and friendship here?

Please let us know

Jules

I know we're all abroad and away from home and all that?

But I'm still not sure if it’s right and proper to be friendly with Australians

I mean just how many standards do we put to one side??

Thanks for responding guys.
Australians are super friendly

We're looking for anyone in their 20's, 30's and early 40's?

100 miles is not that far

If you're looking for friends why on earth are you moving to Winnipeg?

Moving there for work.
Life can be boring without friends? Are you anti social or something? Too much Facebook for you?

I always thought that was ironic. How can it be friendly? Nobody lives there!
