Hi Katerina & welcome to glocals.

You do ask alot of questions, so I'll answer the easy one.

There are a ton of salsa lovers and salsa activities on glocals.  Just check the Things to Do section and the Groups section.

Have a great night

Oded

not sure about the whole Solothurn thing, but in many cases, the fastest way to do some of those things is to post something yourself. Also, tell everyone you know about glocals. ;) organize events / activities.

Nir, Oded: when are you gonna make glocals t-shirts? ;) cheap advertising, eh?

Thank you Oded! I found it. Didn't get it all about how things work here yet, I suspect there are more things to discover

1 Are there any people from Solothurn region?

look at members tab: search with keyword solothurn gives 6 hits ... but even you are not part of them, then I guess that many Solothurner-s register in Bern ...

2 Is anyone dancing salsa??

we have at least two groups in Zurich (one is the broad "Latin Culture ..." the other is the "ZH salsa group", which by the way I founded ;-)); I know about another couple of groups in Geneva, but I see unfortunately there isn't any in Bern :-/ ... if you want to join the Zurich activities you are for sure welcome !

3 Is anyone interested in samba and/or brasilian music?

for sure in the "Latin Culture ... group" in Zurich you find a lot of people intersted in this

4 Does anyone like DRS3? What other radiostations do you listen and why?

this is most probably a nice topic for a serparate Forum post

5 Why don't you people offer each other things about job or business ...

look at the tab "Classifieds", and if your question/offer doesn't fit anywhere, maybe you can post in the forums

6 Who goes to this "Saturday: glocals Spring party" event with a car from Bern

I'd post this question and the related ones in the comments section of that activity ...

7 Are there any coming events to do with walking or swimming planned?

just dig in the "groups" and/or activities, ther are tons of events, hiking is for sure one of the most popular spring/summer activities

8 Are all the cities' communities acting separate? are there regular events

I'd say most of the events are "city-based", but it can happen that for some events people moves from one city to another, for example we had a big bunch of people from Geneva/Lausanne coming here to Zurich for the past salsafestival in February

Ciaociao ! :-)

Fabrizio

PS: just let me give you an advice, instead of posting one big "omnibus" question next time post few (or many) little focused questions ... that would make everything easier ! ;-)

Hi!

I can't really answer any of your questions since I'm new too and Fabrizio looks like he covered it all.

But I do want to agree with you, finding good parties where people don't spend their evening eating is hard. I don't know the area where you're at but it is close to France so here is an advice: Don't go party there it's even worst :D Never ending dinner parties with stupid drinking games that don't even get u drunk cause you ate too much ! Trust me I'm french :p

If I hear about anything good in Switzerland I'll let u know :)

The Sindy parties (in Geneva) are huge... and most are "just drinks" - (No food Isabelle ;-) )

There are also regular drinks that happen in most cities where you meet other people in a relaxed atmosphere....

As with everything, once you find a nice group of friends then the parties are better, and its easier to organise great nights out.

Katerina

Just read thriug your thread Im new to Geneva and he with a few other guys also looking for that sort of social scene if you do hear of anything happenning in Geneva please share and I will do the same

@christopher katerina is not actually in geneva. she was here for the Spring Party, but is based in Bern / Solothurn. But, there are plenty of people here. Have you been to La Terrasse? Frequent meeting place for glocals members.

Cheers will take a look at it.

Thanks for the info

Hello Charlie! Hello Cris! Hey - miss 2 days and someone is already replying instead of you on your own introduction forum! Thank you for your info Zonker, still when people write to me, I would like to answer them myself. I am not from Geneva, but you have probably seen it on my profile already. It does not mean I do not like to meet people from Geneva or anywhere else. We (me and my husband) were at this Spring party taking place in Geneva. Charlie - you are absolutely right - it is really better to find first people to talk to and them meet them at the party. The party was well-organized, actually were a lot of students and many people under 30. It is surely good, but mainly what they all were doing was: http://www.hoopsandyoyo.co.uk/pages/ecards.php?code=8&action=view&history=search

There were no possibility to dance salsa - there were no salseros there (maybe we just didn't see any) and no possibility to dance samba - no space.

We still found nice people to talk to.

We have also received an invitation to go to another party - called "On the Rocks" - also in Geneva. - Chris - maybe that could interest you too?

Katerina

Thank you for the info will take a look at the on the rocks party.

Thanks again
