Coming from Australia for the big OE; looking for friends to share coffee/tea, go to movies or perhaps even travel together. Happy to make friends from UK, Ireland, Scotland or for that matter, anywhere in the world. As a footnote-Yes I am single, but no I am not using this website as a dating platform. So to all the males out there, by all means drop by and say hello. I am very happy to have male friends and willing to help anyone learn or improve their English, but I am NOT looking for a relationship or marriage. Sorry, just needed to make that perfectly clear.
I joined expat.com on 12 November 2008.
Back here for the time being. Living a slightly better life than last time. About to launch my own mobile massage business. Exciting times ahead.
The nationalities and diversity of other staff. Learnt a lot, got to try different foods and learn about interesting cultures.
50 heat in summer. Dress restrictions, especially in the heat having to wear a full black abaya over clothing.
Great life here for six months, although I went from earning a great wage to nearly none.I got to travels loads around this fair aisle, and the people and places have left me wanting more.
The people so friendly, always ready for a laugh and to share a drink or three.
Lots of rain, and more rain.
My life in London-what a life. It was full of trials, tribulations and challenges. However, many people in London share similar threads, and it was easy to make friends to share good times and bad.
Love the history and architecture of London. Great theatre and culture. Lovely green spaces like Hyde Park and Richmond Gardens.
Too crowded a city and too impersonal.Public transport is often crowded and takes forever to get anywhere.
