New Friends - Going out in Lyon

Post new topic

rebecca_louise

Hey Guys,

Been in Lyon over a year and still finding it hard to find new friends as i've not really had to time to look!

So i'm looking to meet some new people, it would be great to go out for drinks with people that speak English. It would also be nice to find some good places to drink (as its completely different to Leeds here)

So if anyone is interested, let me know.
thanks

Hi, I've been in Lyon for  around 4 months and know no one yet. Maybe it would be fun to meet? :)

Sissious

Hi everyone,
I'm a lyonnais but it will be a pleasure for me to have a drink at sometimes if you feel lonely here.. I do understand how hard it could be for you guys to live in another country than your.
And also I need to improve my english !!
2 english friends of me are coming the 8th of june for the weekend if some of you want to join us for party :)

Asema

Hi guys, I'm looking for English- or Russian-speaking friends too. I'm from Kazakhstan and been living in France for 1 month. Got a bit bored to explore the city abd having drinks all by myself )). If you don't mind me joining your "community", please drop me a line.

Hello, Nakvis, Asema, Rebacce,

I would love to meet people here in Lyon. I have been back and forth betweeb home (NYC) and LYON but now I am here to stay for good. In the little time I was here I made just a few friends and even play in a band. However, since they are occupied durring the days it kind off gets a bit lonly so I wouldn't mind some company to explore the city.

Asema, I speak very little Russian and some Goergian words :)

Thanks and enjoy

Rocky

Asema

Hi Rocky and Nakvis, thank you so much for your quick responses, happy to meet you here.
Next Monday is fine for me - we could meet up & hang out somewhere.
Rocky - you can plactice ur Russian with me if you wish to, and by the way I can play piano.. I used to play it well at my young years ))

Sissious

Let s rock it tonight in Vieux Lyon !! I wanted to try the johnny s kitchen! I dont speak russian at all but u guys could learn me some words apparently... SPACIBA !! (I ve been to moscow and samara last year and learned only this word! haha)

Asema

Hey Sissious, if I have a chance tonight I'll drop in to the Johnny's. If I don't - you can tell us later about this place. Have fun!

Sissious

U should come ! If not, Ill tell u how it was ;)

racheldenholm

Hello all,
Likewise, I have just moved over to Lyon from London to work. I would love to get to know the city with people who know it a bit better than I do and who have gone through a similar experience (i.e. moving to a new city)!
Look forward to hearing from you
Rachel

Sissious

Just to let u know Asema, yesterday I went to the Johnny's Kitchen and what I can tell.. this little Pub is really nice and cosy !! And the guinness is very good... which is why today wasn t that easy at the office !!

Asema

Great then, we should all definitely try it

Roopesh_4friends

Asema

Hi all,
Me and Roopesh are planning to meet up tomorrow afternoon in the Park Tete D'Or, appr 3pm. 
Everyone is welcome to join us for a walk / chat / drinks.


p.s. It would be great if we could all arrange a barbeque with food and drinks, games and music one sunny day in a park.

pulsljud

Asema,

I think it sounds nice with a BBQ if people are up for it :)

Asema

Well, despite of all apparent idleness here I hope we can make it one day )

rockyn2020

Hi Asema;

I think it is a great idea. People feel more comfortable when there is food and wine around so it might help with the mingling part of things.

Did I just say mingling? Sorry its the NY in me lol...

Sorry, I'll miss tomorrow, I am performing out of town.

Catch you next time.

Enjoy

Rocky

colinmichael

I will be there tomorrow. And I wouldn't mind trying to plan a BBQ type event. We should pick a day a week in advance at least though, so people have time to plan.

Anyway where do yo plan on meeting specifically. The park is quite a big place.


Colin

Roopesh_4friends

Hi
Hope to see you all today.
Take care

Sissious

Hey guys !!
Did you make it yesterday !? I hope you did because the weather was sooo lovely!!
I was very busy yesterday so I hope that a new meeting will be plan soon.

A bientôt !

pulsljud

It seems like there are some people interested in getting together for some BBQ-thingy, or am I wrong? haha :)

Maybe people who are interested could write something? And maybe then we can even pick a date?

Asema

Hey Sissious and all, yes it was great to meet the guys from different countries and talk.
Let's keep in touch and stay good friends,

Pulsjud, I love the BBQ idea )) just waiting for any progress )

Sissious

Nice to hear that you guys had a great time! Next time we could go for an apéritif with rosé, beers, chips, sandwichs.. on les berges du rhônes! It s quite nice there in the end of the afternoon..

DebiC

Hey Guys,

Sorry I missed out!

How about getting together for a "happy hour" after work next week? Let's say Tues the 26th or Wed the 27th? We could meet at Wallace, Vieux Lyon on the Saone? Or if anyone knows a great place, I'm all ears. :)

rockyn2020

Hi Debi,

I am up for it! The 26 sounds good with me. The recording studio i'm recording at is right next to Wallece so it sounds like a good Idea.

Rocky

Hello Guys,
Meeting on the 26th of June would be grand!
Also, last night was la Fete de La Musique and there was a really good indie British band. They are playing again tonight at the Vox at around 8pm...Anyone up for it?
