I am a Belgian immigrant since 1997. Living in Sydney most of the year. I like Getalife.com.au, because the site is real. Getalife keeps me away from (as opposed to glued to) my PC. Via this website - and the great people I meet - I can participate in all kinds of activities that I didn't even know existed, or that had been inaccessible to me for all kinds of reasons. Via Getalife, I have been on helicopter flights, sailing weekends, bush trecks, treasury hunts, gallery tours, private wine tasting nights, dinner dates, snorkeling weekends, the top of Mount Kosciusko, Shark Island, mussel parties, High Tea's, wine tasting tours, deep ocean fishing trips and canoing weekends. I have played kubb, aqua-golf, supa golf, mini golf, roller blading, soccer, basket ball, ten pin bowling, ultimate frisbee. I have been close and personal with grey nurse sharks, orka's and stingrays (the one that got Steve!), ... .... in fact, the list is so long that I now have to reconsider my idea (i had at the beginning of this paragrahp) to list them all ! Best of all is that all these activities I am doing in the company, and sometimes under the guidance of old and new found friends. I also like Getalife because this social network is informal, personal, non-judgmental, tolerant, empowering, open minded and all inclusive. And because all activities here are organised by people just like me, who invite me because they enjoy my company (i hope), and not because i am on a bulk email list of some commercial operator. Other than that I like breakfast, strong beer, cheap wine, dark chocolate, chess, beach volley ball, traveling, dinner parties, games nights, weekend getaways, Russian parties, sea kayaking, cycling.
