Hi all,
My name is Portia from SYD, Australia. I have been living here in Lyon just over a year now and just found out about Expat.com. My french is pretty devastating but at least I do try. Let me know if you happen to organise a get together in the city would love to join.

Cheers Portia x

Hi Portia! Hope you're having a good stay here in Lyon. My french is quite bad but I've managed this far haha :) I'm currently studying french, hoping to improve!

This and next week I'm busy cause my family is visiting, but sometime (maybe for the barbecue discussed in an other thread) it would be fun to meet up :)

Hi all, sorry ever since starting my new job haven't had time to check on my expat mails.  If you guys are planning on a BBQ in the future I would be up for it if I'm not working that is and if the weather manages to get its act together as of lately it does not resemble anything like summer.I  hope to be able to meet up soon. If you guys plan for anything  saturday late afternoon or night I would try and join.
Portia :)

Hi christopher,
Thanks for the offer, But I am already learning a bit each day at work I think its enough for me for the moment, plus I don't live or go to the city every week, just on occasions when there is something happening. Hope to see you all at sometime though.
cheers Portia :)
