Pasadena daytime
Hi I am Heather, and am from Kent. I am married to a Norwegain and living in the south of Norway with him and our 2 year old daughter. We are all heading off to Pasadena CA for a couple of months from Jan 2011. He will be working/ studying at Caltec, so my daughter and I will be left to our own devices during the daytime. I'm really looking forward to coming
, but am a bit nervous that I'll not find enough to do, and will be so far from friends and family
. Is there anyone who can meet up with us to shop, go to cafes or the play park? That would be great

That would be great I'm 21, not married/no children, but I'd be happy to meet up and show you around if you'd like. I'm relatively new to the LA area (only moved back from the UK 2 1/2 months ago). I'm American, lived in the UK for three years for uni, only just moved back. It'd be great to meet some new people.

Re: Pasadena daytime
Pasadena is wonderful. There are so many museums near there, and such a long time sense of community. It's a beautiful city with gorgeous architecture everywhere. The Los Angeles area has a number of British ex-pat "Meet Up" groups in case you want to connect to fellow Brits. Just check MeetUp.com. You can always message me, I'm American, married to a Brummie. You will love Pasadena.

Re: Pasadena daytime
Thanks so much for your encouraging responses, it's good to hear such positive accounts of Pasadena. It's really difficult to picture a place in your head before you've been there, so it was good to hear that there's a sense of community there and plenty to do.
Thanks for your offer to meet up Nejicano, that would be great. It's nice to know that I have some plans right from the begining. There's obviously a lot on offer in the area as I looked up 'english tea Pasadena' for fun and found three tea houses! such a contrast from where I live here in Norway... here you have to like walking in the mountains or swimming from the rocks in the summer or your stuffed! Will be great to be in a lively place for a while.
Keep in touch, Heather.
