Looking for foreign friends

Post new topic

HamadM

hi everyone! im looking for meeting new friends either from America or Britain or any place from western countries who r currently live in here Bahrain

gunner757

I'd be happy having local friends .
But I'm not from Western Countries .

Krishire

If you want to meet people, why don't you start a MeetUp or propose an event for people here? :)

HamadM

hi Krishire! how u doin? do u mean starting Meetup through this site meetup.com/?

mujtaba19

i propose a coffee meetup ,  :D:)

Krishire

Yes, that website would work or here could be good, too. I like  mujtaba's idea. =]

HamadM

hi Krishire! great idea so shall we plan all of us to meetup for coffee in this weekend?

Krishire

Sure, hopefully more people will join in, too. It'd be nice to meet some people here in Bahrain. =]

HamadM

yeah that would be really awesome more new peoples to join us. shall we meetup on friday or saturday?

Krishire

Actually, I've got another idea. I was recently asked to help out a MeetUp group for expats. I'll post the meetup even here so we can hopefully get a larger group going and continue it. :)

mujtaba19

A great idea Krishire  , looking forward to it ,and so looking forward to meeting up with you guys

HamadM

yeah that would be awesome if u can post it in Meetup as im so excited to meet so many new peoples

Krishire

Oh boy, the pressure is on now. ^^;;

HamadM

yes it is, waiting eagerly for the event your going to post,

your posting it here in the events section of the website, right Krishire ?

Krishire

Um, I hadn't thought of that. I guess once I get the event coordinated in MeetUp, I'll make a post here and create an event. I think that will cover all the bases.

It can't be for this weekend because I had some stuff come up, but next weekend is a definite (gives people more time to pencil it in their schedule, too)

HamadM

ok no problem so lets plan it for the next weekend plz

mujtaba19

I'm up for it

HamadM

we r located in bahrain

PhilTay

My wife and I are moving to Bahrain in 2 weeks time so would be interested in these events

Krishire

And the more the merrier. =)

HamadM

ohhhh hell yeah thats exactly right

HamadM

hi Krishire! how r u? how many new peoples did u meet through Meetup? is it confirmed we will meet up in this weekend?

Krishire

Working on it and no way to tell how many show up until the day of. Sorry. But there should be a time/place set by tomorrow. (I'm shooting to do the MeetUp on Sat!)

HamadM

ok no problem. so what time and place shall we meetup on sat?

HamadM

hi Krishire! how r u? have u decided which time and place we will meetup on sat?

Lindochka

I love their way, Hamad is ignoring Mujtaba and addressing all his posts to Kris.
You Are Lame, boet!

HamadM

lol very funny i never ignored Mujtaba and he is more welcome to join us for coffee meetup. The reason is i sent messages to Krishire cuz she met new peoples from other online so i just wanted to know their decision of time and place wanna gathering for coffee

Krishire

Yeah, I am not having much luck with the MeetUp website right now. The main coordinator of the group sounds like a really busy person. Sorry that it's taking so long.


Also, when I get the group going, I'll make a new post here, so nobody will miss out. =) Promise. ;)

HamadM

alright no problem i will be waiting for that

mujtaba19

😅😅😅

gunner757

At least something in the box .

Plan more things , gather some network , and hopefully we'll have something big on the National Day if you guys are free .

Krishire

I finally got the official event set up through the group "Expat Club" in MeetUp and I made a separate post here in the forum.. Anyone is welcome, so please come check it out. It's my first time co-organizing a group like this. ^^;;

HamadM

hi Krishire! this is the link that u talked about right?

Krishire

Yup, thats the one~

HamadM

alright hopefully i will see u and the rest group next week on sat inshallah

It is OK, you can always have tea

DonnyQ

Where I come from, only old people do that.  However, its always good to adapt to the local culture.
