    Hi

    I've just moved here and would like to be able to meet some people that I don't work with and enjoy the nightlife if such exists. By day I have a fairly full on job and I'm 33.

    I don't seem able to get the hang of the aperitif thing and everyone in the office goes home at 7pm. Being British I obviously like drinking lager and am used to rather more social after work drinks.

    So if anyone can point me in the right direction or is willing to educate me in the ways of polite society or knows of any fun ex-pat clubs, (i.e. not chamber of commerce types) I look forward to hearing from you.

    Lou

    Hi Louise

    I saw your message and mentioned it to my good friend who lives in Milan (I'm based in Rome) who is also 33 and interested in expanding her social circle and trying out new places. She's also British.

    Contact me at my email if you'd like to contact her and I'll pass on her mobile no. (she doesn't have access to the internet which is why I'm writing this and not her!!)

    All the best in Milan,
    Catherine

    Re: New to Milan

    Indeed Lou. :shy:
    Apologies for the problem: An other website was using our bandwith to display its adverts and caused EasyExpat to collapse. As the provider didn't give me any help or indication to sort out the problem, I decided to resiliate and change hosting company over the weekend.
    Problem is sorted now (cross fingers).
