Hi everyone!

I just wanted to introduce myself to the forum...

I am 30 years old and from the UK originally. I have just finished a 2 and a half year stint in Hyderabad in India and whilst I loved India I am really looking forward to this move to Switzerland!

I look forward to getting to know some of you more and thanks for all the helpful hints and tips this site has already provided.

Welcome to EF and der Schweiz. Just in time for Ski season, enjoy.

Hi SoozeP and welcome to the forum.

Hi and welcome!
I am a 29 year old kiwi and have been in Basel for a year now (& am still settling in!). I have a lot of Swiss friends through my husband, but not so many from other places (which I miss!!!) - would be great to meet for a drink, I have not been to one of the organised events on this forum yet (life has been BUSY) but I was thinking about attending one of those at some stage also
Sarah.

Hi Sarah,

Lovely to hear from you. Meeting up sounds good - I have sent you a PM

Thanks Mirfield and Braincake for the welcome!

Damene Hepworth - I am not yet in Basel, flying out tomorrow morning (eeeekk!!), so I haven't tried it yet. I take it you would recommend it?

it is a great night out open late 3 bars and dj's thursday, friday and saturday nights, But it gets very busy at the weekends

Thanks for the tip! Maybe I'll give it a go this weekend

Hey there Sooze -
Sounds like we are in similar straits! I just moved to the area (well, across the border in Mulhouse) two weeks ago and I am a 35 year old American/Canadian historian who is also looking to explore Basel and the area. If you or Sarah would like to grab a drink, just let me know!

Almost forgot my name - it's Tim!

Hi SoozeP!!!
Happy New Year!!!
Are you already in Switzerland or just about to move? Its a nice time with a fastnacht festival comming I have been living in Basel for a year now, but still - like Sarah dont have that many friends. So I would be happy to meet and tell you my stories which my help you to find your way around Switzerland.
Cheers- Zofia

Hi Tim and Zofia!

I have sent PMs. I am moving tomorrow and once I have settled in a bit we should all meet for drinks Intrigued to see what the nightlife in Basel is like!

Hi Sooze
Welcome to Basel! I'm sure you'll enjoy it here. I've been here over a year now, and the time has gone very quickly - I still feel like a newbie.
I would be up for a drink sometime, and I can try to share some experiences, such as they are so far ...

Hi Blaster! Nice to hear from you and glad to hear that you are enjoying life in Basel! I've sent you a PM - a catch up sometime sounds good!

Hi SoozeP, welcome to Basel! If you want to meet some new people come join us at the next dinner social, Dinner and Drinks: Basel February Curry!

Hi SoozeP, welcome to Basel! I have been here for just over 18months now and don't know where the time has gone! I also plan to socialise a bit more this year to meet new people and come to some organised events.
Where are you originally from in the UK?
All the best for settling into life in Basel! :-)
Alison
