Saturday night meetup - 4th Dec by JPope
A few interesting facts: 1) There are loads of new people on here who seem to want to meet up with other expats, and nobody seems to be organising anything much. 2) There is a 5 day weekend in Barcelona. 3) I found a really cool bar that has ...
Sounds good, Egle! Maybe meet up at this event and then go for drinks? It's in the same area anyway :) Read More

ha ha I don't mean formally! I mean informally! i.e. There hasn't been a conscious decision made. It's just that many people now talk on Facebook and seem to chat a lot less here than they once did! Which is a shame. :( Read More

J: That's exactly what I like about the game: it's unpredictability! That damn thing falls so weird that you have to be both extremely quick and ready for anything! With a tennis ball, for example, you can see exactly where and how the ball will ... Read More
