New to Canberra.... looking for social activities

Hey there,

I moved to Canberra a couple of weeks ago from Birmingham (UK), I'm hoping to meet new people for some fun times - drinking, eating, cinema, sports... anything really!!!! As I'm sure many of you have experienced it can be difficult meeting people in a new city, let alone an entirely different country. I thought I'd post on here and see if anybody is interested in meeting up, or giving me a bit of advice about how you expanded your social circle when you first arrived.

Thank you!

Hey,

When I moved here, I met lots of people through work, but I've noticed that this varies A LOT depending on where you work.  The job I have now doesn't really have any opportunities for meeting anyone at all.

Hopefully you can work somewhere cool like I used to!

Hi !
Je viens d'arriver sur Canberra et j'aimerais rencontrer des gens ! Donc si tu es toujours partante, on peut se retrouver quelque part !

There are many students in Canberra, so you should be able to socialise in the bars of the CBD. It should be very easy because it is a country that derives from the English culture und language.
