I wouldn't be able to make this weekend but I'll definitely put a post for a meeting on saturday 9th, most of the other expats have been very busy that's why there haven't been a meeting for a while.

Take care

Hi Everybody,

I bought today an official Tango 12 soccer ball. So If somebody wants to play football in the park, please let me know. I live near the "parc du cinquantenaire".

Everybody is welcome! The more people, the more fun :)

Thx

Well I am a emerging artist in Brussels and my quest is for a fellow artist preferable a male musician to get on the music with. I play the guitar and as a singer wish to accomplish my dreams of a realization of an Album.

Hi Miro ! Any updates on the next meeting ?

SamKyo

Anybody interesting for a drink on thursday or friday evening?

balesy1974

I haven't been to any of these expat meet-ups in ages, just far too busy and they always clash with other social events.

Hi everyone....
This invite is for everyone to attend a meeting at Mappa Mundo near Bourse at 19.30 on Friday 15th June. The plan will be to meet for drinks and then see where the night takes us ;-)
This will give all of the new members of the group a chance to meet up with everyone as well as the 'old timers' a chance to catch up and meet more new people :-)
Please advise if you are able to make it so we can keep track of who is coming....
Looking forward to meeting you all there!

Hi Miroelsilent,

Is this @ Grand Place?? it is really helpful if you can either mention the address or the map of this place. Cos all the new members doesn't know this place by name. Neither myself. :D

and hope this even is English.. ;)

But.. Appreciate your effort on this.

grsanz

Sounds good Miro :))   I will go.
See you soon !

Hi everyone!

After reading the whole post I see that there are no meetings going on right now,so I've decided to open a new post and maybe, with the help of everyone, we can arrange a great meeting! Check the post

I m a french woman living in the south of France, but it's not really a very exciting place. I have worked 13 years in Brussels for a French Dubbing Company and I come back to Brussels in October to improve my English to be able to find a new job.
I like talking in English, but my level is not enough to find a good job, so could you help me, to have friendly discussions on skype before my move, it would be wonderful. I can help you to learn French too. I'm very sociable, helpful, and reliable.
I would like to organise group activities until October to go to the cinema,theatre, drinks or dinners, or at the weekends go to mini trip in Belgium. What do you think about it. I'm looking forward to read your answers . Have an excellent day.

No idea where it is, but I'll find it :))

Hi all, we're new in town (recently from South China) and need to start socialising.

Where is the best place to meet up with expats? Preferably those who speak English... as that's the only language I can speak (well just).

Throw in some good music too... and I'll fit right in.

Cheers
G

Hey ileanab80

It's very close to Bourse metro. The link below has some details.
