Hi

I would like to know if anyone speaking both french and English.. or any one learning french  and English  would like to meet up and spend some time and make friends.  Anyone new to Abidjan can also join. Please reply to this post so that one can make a date fixed for the meetup.

Thank you

Obara

I am in Abidjan studying and i know few friends studying here too who speak both english and french like me. We are not working but i guess we can share a lot

Hello. I just moved back to Abidjan. My English is good, but my French needs a major refresher course. I hope to also meet others that speak both English and French. Perhaps we can all learn from each other.

swathiganti

Is Saturday 6 june ok for everyone to meet up? give me suggestions for the place to meet. i live in zone 4.

Dyumorgan

I dont know anything the zones lol. I live in Macory Residential, not too far from Ibis. Hope that helps.
Theres a decent resturant called Titanic thats in that area. The upstairs has a nice view of the street and the pizza is pretty good too. If i can think of other places, ill let you know but I dont get out often enough. I usually spend the weekends in Bassam. Watching the ocean takes away the boredom :-).

Im really looking forward to meeting others and creating friendships.

swathiganti

haha.. me neither. . ok.. capsud should be a better place for meetup i guess. . i have no idea about the Titanic restaurant. . but capsud has a good coffee shop to hang out. . i wish to see more people joining the meetup..

Dyumorgan

Cool cool. Where is Capsud? Or better question, what stuff(shops, resturants, hotels etc) is around Capsud, so i can get an idea of where it is. Ill try to scout it out while im running errands today

swathiganti

it is close to marcory. u should not have any problem locating it. it is located near orca deco.  capsud is a mall where u have hyperhyat.. mango.. Swarovski showrooms and many more. if u r taking a taxi he would drive u there ..

Dyumorgan

Ok great. Thank you for the information. Saturday works for me. The weekend in general works for me  :) It will be nice to be in the company of others. Im looking forward to it. Hopefully others will join. Feel free to message me in the mean time.

Hello Everyone
It seems like there is no meet up scheduled.
Is anyone open to meet this weekend. Either tonight or Saturday evening/night?
We could do coffee in the evening or drinks at night. I was thinking somewhere around Cap Sud in the evening for coffee or Zone 4 at night for drinks. Bring up your suggestions and let's do this.
Anyone interested please private reply for my phone number so I can coordinate things.

tomfen

What? No takers? Not even one?....  :(:unsure

Sherryle

No problems. I understand how demanding those precious little being can be. Been there, done that. I have three daughters of my own....and they are arriving in Abidjan tomorrow. So I am enjoying the calm before the storm.... :D
