Hi kamini and welcome to the forum.

You'll find lots of interesting stuff on here.

Be sure to check out the events calendar. There are also lots of South Africans on the forum so you're not alone.

Welcome aboard.

Welcome to the EF.
Geneva is certainly a good place to be for English speaking expats.
Look around the forum and am sure you'll find some local people within the forum you could meet with.

Also check out Genevaonline it's a great local socialising page specialised with UN types but with a broader appeal too.

You'll also find it on facebook.

I hope your experiences get more positve, it is a big upheavel and this country is full of surprises... it can be nerve raking at first. Make as much contact with others as you can to get you through the newness of it all.
