Expat Get Together In Bangalore

Let us plan a get together of Ex pats of Bangalore first.  I think we have quite a few people here.
Can anyone suggest a place to get together.  Just avoid the 5 star hotels.

Looking forward to hearing from you all.

It is a good idea to have a Expat members Get Together in Bangalore. When you are planning to arrange it?

Ola,
I see that the topic has just stopped.
I am in brazil now and I will be back to India - Bangalore next month.
I can plan for an expat gathering.

Location : Koramangala - Jimmys Beer Cafe.

I am already part of Couch surfing since long time organizing events.
So not to worry let us take this forward.

what do you suggest guys?

If we can take this forward.. the post about our gathering should be informed in Facebook and other networking sites specially to expats in order that they will find something is happening in this group.

waiting to hear from you,
Dix

I took the initiative a couple of times on this forum but did not get a good response. I am in to participate whenever there is a meet up. Any location in Bangalore is okay with me.

Cheers
Terence

I am also interested. Kindly let me know the Place, Date & Time.

Thank you everyone for the interest that you have for this topic it means that there is a real need of those events of hour communicpty here in Bangalore. This is only gonna happen only if we are well organised.
We need to have a commity or group of person elected or appointed or even volunteers who will be able to organise such. Also contact some expereineced event organisers to set up for us dates and place as we will be charged on food and drinks.
So if among us there are people who wanna make so little profit by bringing us together let's see your plans and we decide.

What are u guys thinking about it

We have regular expat meet ups in Mauritius. The last one was on 22nd Feb and we had a crowd of more than 100 expats and locals. In Mauritius the meet ups are on the beach and bring and share theme.
I suggest that we meet at any bar and each one can pay for their own drinks. We would like to keep expat meet ups away from people who want to make money out of these  events.

I Know one place in Bangalore to have drinks & food near Whitefield name called OPUS.

Unlimited drinks & food. The timings are from 7PM till 11 PM. But make sure we should be around 10 people min. The price is Rs. 1100 to Rs. 1200 / head.

Or else let me know whether we need to stay in Resort for one night to chat with each other.

Hello all,

We are a group of expats and Indians meeting up at OPUS nightclub, VasanthNagar, Bangalore on March 12th, 2014, that is on a Wednesday at 8 PM.

I am a Bass-Baritone and I will be there to light up the evening for you all.

Come on, join us for a drink, or sing a song on stage. It's Karaoke night!

[Moderated: no phone number on the forum please]

Hi Habib,

I am a Bass-Baritone and perform across Bangalore.
A few of my expat and Indian friends will be meeting at OPUS, VasanthNagar in Bangalore.
A night of music and networking for expats..
We will hold these meet-ups every week on Wednesday across different Karaoke nightclubs in Bangalore.
What better way to chill out after a long day at work than by singing a few songs?
Come on over whenever you're in town....
Inbox me for any queries.

Hi Nash,

I am too a musician and I play the Djambe and other percussion instruments . Please PM me your contact number. We can jam up sometimes.

Cheers

Hi all,

We are happy to hear that you had a good time during your meeting.

It would be nice if you could tell us more about the meeting please. How was the music during the evening?

Do you want to meet again soon?

Have a nice day,

Hasnaa

Hey Hasnaa,

The music was mind-blowing..We are meeting up next Wednesday at Opus again.

It was a great mixture of expats from the Americas, Europe, Africa and Asia. We chatted leisurely over drinks and snacks.

Cool stuff indeed! Not the run of the mill boring board room or star hotel meet-ups. That's what set this meet-up apart.

Everybody chatted over food and drinks, sang, and those who wanted to shake a leg danced to the groovy beats in the end.

We are meeting up this Wednesday again!! Those who wanna get invited can PM me.

Cheers,
Nash

Hello,

All set for the second expat meet-up today at 8.30 PM. All happening at OPUS!!

Cheers,
Nash

Hi Habib,

Another wonderful night of music..Only this time it was Jazz. The night kept rolling like it was flowing.
We had 12 expats turn up for the meet-up.

Our meet-ups are definitely happening now.


Cheers,
Nash
