Guess we are trying to see how many Aussies we can get posting in a row...I'd be number 3


Welcome Mel, plenty of opportunities on Glocals to meet ppl, and there is even an Aussies in Geneve glocals group for when you get the urge to speak Australian - http://www.glocals.com/#/groups/geneva/australians-in-geneva-group.htm


Cheers,

Is there an actual themed Aussie pub in Geneva?  Not saying it needs it, because those things are always well off the mark, but just wondering...

Hi Everyone...Aussies and others ;)


 


Just wondering, are any of you interested in meeting up on Sunday or during the week next week? Let me know if you are! Not sure about finding an Australian pub (the one in Zurich is totally cheesy) but Im sure we can find somewhere suitable!


 


cheers,
Mel
