Moving to Basel

sezdee · #1 22.01.2011, 22:10

Hi there!
I'm moving to Basel next Saturday, on secondment with work, and just thought I'd say hi to folk on here.
Any tips for meeting people would be much appreciated.
I'm hoping to join up with the photography group, but a 'cheeky drink/having a chat' group would also be good

Welcome to Basel. We moved from Scotland a few months ago. Love it so far - especially telling people back home we just walked to Germany - or France. Hope you enjoy it too!

Welcome to Basel!
I have been living in Basel for the past 7 months and have been having a wonderful time. I hope you enjoy the city as much as I do!

I am also very interested in joining the photography group but the one that I found here doesn't seem to be running. I am not sure about it though...
I am pro to some drinks and chatting too.

Welcome to Basel.
I have been here for about 9-10 months. There are regular EF events in Basel as listed in the calender, nice way to meet people.
All the best.

Best of luck with the move to Basel. I've been here for 3 weeks, moved here from Ireland and am loving it so far. Keep us posted on the move.

Welcome to Basel.
I love it!
A welcome chat & drink is a good idea!
I would join!

Welcome to EF, sezdee -- and all the other Basel newbies who've popped up on this thread!

Top tip: check out the social events in Basel advertised in the social calendar on EF. Click here or on Calendar in the menu bar at the top of this page. The Wednesday Basel curry night is a great way to meet other EFers from Basel; the February night hasn't been posted yet but I'm guessing it will be soon.

Thanks everyone for the wishes! I arrived yesterday and I'm already loving it.

Shall make sure to check out the EF calender as suggested, and hope to see some of you at an event before long. And of course if anyone (newbie or otherwise) wants to organise something that would be great.

Cheers!
