Hi my name is shelley, and I have just arrived from the Gold Coast Australia. Im loving the city and I start work next week. So where do all the expats hang out.
A few of us may be meeting up again this Friday somewhere in Palermo. The "proper" expat bars are alright, but most are filled with dull study-abroad kids from the US. How long will you be living in BA?
Aero - No problem, we drink with all and everyone, you would be more than welcome. Most of us long standing "ex-pats" are married to Argentines, and we sometimes bring the other halves out with us.
Old habits die hard on descriptions for having a drink. Here, After Office is a common term, not used back where I come from.. Heading out at 6 is "Early Doors" for me, dating back to a period when the pubs opened at 6 and we were first through the doors - hence we were "early"..
One we like is on a Friday when we meet up - We go for "Frinks" = Friday Drinks.... Mind you, I'm heading for a Mink tonight!
