Hey Guys,

I have been here for 1 year now but it is always good to meet new folks!

This weekend will be quite hard but I think the best would for one of you to post a new topic with a date/time/place for an event..Like on a Thursday or Friday it is always nice..And this way you can let other people know (there are so many small posts like this with people looking to make new friends)on the forum. I did this last year 2 times, there was always lots of people showing up!

Best of luck,

Mathieu

Hello all,

I will be organizing a meeting by the end of this month possibly by sunday 29 july. I will plan a location and will PM you all. I have arranged about 4 friends meetings in Budapest until i was there.   i will invite my other friends and may be we can introduce to each other.

One place that gets mentioned here every now and the is "Treehugger Dan's Lounge" . I had an hour to waste in Budapest, so I went to see it.
It's a really nice little second hand book store, with a couch to just hang out and chat. Right behind the Opera house, hard to miss.

Highly recommended. Perfect place to meet up!

Hey all, I am a "Budapester", I`d like to practice my English and I like to make friendships with people from different countries. :P Beside this I have a permanent, desperate need to help others :D, so if you think a local friend could be useful for you in any way, just let me know! I would be happy to go and have a drink with you. :)

mathieu.alloo

Ok people looking forward to your event at the end of the month then!

Melroj

I am in too... I've been here for 2 weeks also and will be living in Budapest for 2 years so I am looking forward for making lots of new friends !! I'll be waiting for the event.

serenity28

I am in, too! :) have been here for a while, but in the summer the town is really empty and all friends are gone.

Formica

So as I see now we need just need arranger :)

sarah105

Not to distract from gosubmit's offer to arrange something later this month, but if anyone is interested in getting together tomorrow around 8 pm, let me know via PM! A few of us had planned to meet at Aquarium...

Sarah

Thanks, sarah. Nice to see that you are taking the initiative. I will be reaching budapest by this weekend and will surely organize something by next week saturday and sunday (28/29).

I usually allow plenty of time to announce to people, because it is very difficult to get people come together for a meeting, given a short interval. Some are busy on weekends or have other plans or cant come after work. Its tricky!

I will make a proper plan and PM you all about the meeting.

serenity28

I'm not in town this weekend, but net weekend is just perfect! :)

mathieu.alloo

Likewise for me, next weekend would be perfect.

I trust that "gosubmit" will arrange something nice for us..;)

Looking forward to the event!

Cheers

Mathieu

If you are in Budapest that weekend, you may miss some great north Balaton Jazz concerts.

Totally agreed. If anyone needs some tips to "survive" the first period in Budapest, send me PM.

Christine

@Evelin Alexa- why don't you start a new thread and suggest us some tips to "survive" the first period in Budapest forum. This would be great and will definitely help members. :)

Great idea, Christine, let me think about it.

If you are a foreigner who just arrived in Budapest, and you would like to meet some other foreigners or locals
If you are Hungarian, and you would like to exercise your English, French, or any other languages in a cheerful atmosphere

Look for International Meeting Point Budapest group in Facebook

We will organize 3 events a month, at affordable but pretty cool bars (like the Treffort Kert when the weather is good). So come here to have a Soproni or a Palinka, you are all welcome at International Meeting Point Budapest!

This is an informal group, there is no fees whatsoever, just a bunch of friends
