Expat blog gathering in BH - May, 4th

Hello Kay25.

Welcome to Expat.com!

Nice idea! Do not hesitate to suggest a date, an hour and a place.

Thank you,
Aurélie

Hello again,

I would like to suggest you all to meet at a great pizzaria called 'Speciali pizza bar' in the area of Savassi/Lourdes in Belo Horizonte.
The exact address is: Rua Fernandes Tourinho, 805, Lourdes - Belo Horizonte.

We could meet the first weekend of May if it is okay for everyone.
So let's say that we meet on Saturday 4th of May at 19:00 at the restaurant.

But I will have to make a reservation for a table at least a week before.
So please everyone, let me know if you are willing to come and how many people are coming with you.

I will keep everyone informed on this forum.

Looking forward to meeting you.

Cheers

Kiane

Hi Kay25, paulalee and greengirl,



On behalf of the entire Expat-blog Team, it is my extreme pleasure to welcome you all on board. Hope you're all enjoying BH. I lived there for a number of years and there's always lots of interesting things to see and do.

Hi,

Sounds like a good idea. Unfortunately I will be out of town on the 4th of May. If there are any other opportunities I would very much like to join. I am living in BH for 4 weeks now and still don't know that many people.

Cheers,
Les

Hi,

Thanks for the invite and normally I would love to go.
However, May 4th is also the day that Paul McCartney is in BH and we have tickets, so I won't be able to make this one.

Keep me in mind for any future meet ups though.

Thanks,

Chris

Hi Kay,

Thanks for the invite and welcome to BH! I won't be able to make it on May 4th but I hope you'll keep me in the loop for the next one.

Best wishes,
Shannon

Hi
Ok I will make it..so please put me down for two people
Looking forward to meet you all.
Have a great weekend.

Hello everyone,

Just to inform you that the reservation at Speciali Pizza has been made. 12 people confirmed they are coming.
So we will meet at the restaurant around 19h. Ask for the table Expatblog when you arrive. I'll be there with my sister a little bit earlier.

For the ones that are interested to join us but did not confirm yet, feel free to come to the restaurant.

Looking forward to meeting you all.

Cheers

Hello guys & gals,

I hope you all have a truly wonderful time at your Expat-blog gathering in Savassi. That was one of my favorite neighborhoods in all of Belo Horizonte when I lived there.

If I had the time and money for the trip I'd come to join in with you too because I'd love to meet all of you, but I'm living on a fixed pension and little else. My position with Expat-blog is only voluntary and they don't fund anything of the like, so I'm going to miss all the fun.

Kay25, take lots of photos of your event and if you don't already have a Photobucket account create one. Then send me a PM once you've done that and I will tell you how you can upload them to this thread.

Cheers,
William James Woodward - Brazil Animator, Expat-blog Team

Hey,

Sorry to do this so close to the event but I would like to add another 2 friends to the list if that is possible?

So there is 4 of us coming including me.

See you all soon!!

Hello Paulalee,

It's totally okay to add your friends, don't worry. I anticipated the possibility of more people joining us.

See you soon

Cheers

HIIII..

Hello!!

I have sent you an email with the pictures we took. Inform me if you did not receive it.

Maybe another gathering event will be organised soon.

Thank you,

Merhaba,
kolay gel sen arkadas, iyim?

Hello,
itŽs a good idea, would like to meet more people from outside.

We also could arrange a "festa estrangeira"

Best RGRDS,
Peter

Hello Piotr,

This topic thread is a year old and has not been active since.

If you would like to arrange some kind of get-together in Belo Horizonte you should choose a time and location, post the information as a separate topic thread and see how it goes.

There is also a group in BH called Minas International and they hold regular events. You should watch for postings or visit their homepage at     www.minasinternational.com

Cheers,
William James Woodward, EB Experts Team

Ok, thank you for the Information!
WhatŽs about you, how many years you are living here in Brazil and finaly what was your decision to stay here?

Best RGRDS,
Peter

Hi Peter,

I've been here in Brazil for over 12 years now. I've lived in numerous different cities... Manaus - AM, São Paulo - SP (twice), Belo Horizonte - MG (also twice), Porto Seguro - BA and now in Macaé - RJ.

Came here originally to build a school for poor kids in the Amazon. I didn't really have any intention of staying any longer than 3 to 6 months initially, but by the end of the six months I had fallen in love with the BRAZILIAN PEOPLE and just couldn't bring myself to leave despite all the numerous problems here.

Now I'm married to a wonderful young Brazilian woman and we have a 6 year old Brazilian born son who is my whole world wrapped in one little package.
