I like concerts, bars, travelling, hiking, skiing and trying out new things in general. Nothing too crazy, just trying to have a good time and find something else to do apart from go to work and go home and watch TV.
If anyone is interested in catching up please drop me a line.
Im too far away to hang out
But check out the social events for meeting people
http://www.englishforum.ch/social-events/
EF is quite good for meeting on a regular basis
The Mousetrap "pub" in the Viadukt Markthalle (it's a cheese shop with a bar that sells great beers, though it's arguably a bar that sells great (not grated) cheese) is not bad for meeting a few English speaking people from all walks of life and for drinking good beer (did I mention there's cheese). Thursday evenings, and Saturday afternoons are your best bet.
Mike (the owner/barman/Käsermeister) is great at introducing strangers to one another if they're looking lost and lonely (and you've introduced yourself to him).
There's a few threads if you search EF for Mousetrap.
I see you live in Basel, just spent Friday night there went to a gig at Kuppel. Love being there great city:-)
the orignal post clearly states that the person is searching for friendship if people are interested. the following replies all be it nice and with good intentions always involve directing the person to where they might find friendship. Almost nobody pops up like "hey im always up for making new friends wanna hang sometime".
but yeah ever heading to aarau and fancy a bear let me know.
Incidentally, I think Bern is a better option for bears*
* Though when we last went, they were hiding.
i am totally not knocking the fact you are all nice and give good tips by the way. i just think it's a shame that you barely ever see anyone like. " awwww bless i will be your friend"
i can also totally understand why its hard to expand friend circles these days as people don't talk anymore. we all walk around noses in phones and ignoring the world.
Let's brake that cycle:
Hey, I live in Mettmenstetten but I'm moving to Zurich in July, if you want to meet for a coffee tell me something!
Although I have to say that all the other suggestion were great, specially checking out the EF events
1st is the fact people get wigged out by my ethusiasm, usually.
2nd is this No. Crazy.
That is something I completely agree with. Some people prefer to sleepwalk through life, maybe.
And I've just started making EF Friends... Though were all mammies to be!
Hope we can keep it up once the new generation greets us ;-)
I arrived to Zurich in Jan and I'm open to meeting new people in town.
I also like hiking, skiing, concerts, etc...as most of us, I guess
Can't guarantee we'll click on well and become best friends, but we can start with a beer at that place in Viaduct this Thursday evening.
Does it work for you? PM me if interested!
You a troll
Feck!
Shouldn't have pressed play!
