Ningbo by Starflip
Hi I'll be moving to NIngbo sometime soon for work purposes - education. Anyone out there who can give me the inside story on Ningbo? I enjoy running (sometimes, competitively), the arts, play guitar, photography. I'm learning to draw ...
Hi Indah Well .. here I am at last in Ningbo. I moved into an apartment last week and I am beginning to settle. I've been to Tianyi Square and Laowaitan ... but it would be nice to find more local spots where I can meet interesting people. ... Read More

Thanks. When you return, it would be good to meet up for a chat! I play guitar ... but I do not read music. I taught myself. Be good to learn some of the secrets of the city from a real local :) Stay in touch. Read More

Distance Running in Kuwait by Starflip
Anyone interested in distance running. I'm moving to Kuwait in Janaury and would love to keep up with my running. Always helpful to have a running partner, group or club. Anyone know of anything that's already in place? I know it gets really hot ...

Food by Starflip
I am not a restaurant buff. I like to eat simple and cheap. I wonder if there is a neighbourhood in Kuwait where I might find the equivalent of an Indian chai shop ... Hot tea, fresh roti, and a really authentic curry, kahari or achaar? What ...
Thanks a lot ... I'll give that a try. I did find an excellent Pakistani restaurant (chai shop) in Fahaheel. It's called Sarghoda Restaurant. Definitely an authentic experience ... and excellent cheap food. Downside ... not really a place where ... Read More
