Anybody Out There?!? Female 24 Seeking Friendship in Al Ain

Missy21 · #1 (**permalink**) 8th September 2009, 03:10 AM

Of all the places to settle, I settled in Al Ain. It's a beautiful city, quiet, and traditional... but hell if I can find some young people to hang out with!

I'm looking for friendship with young expats. Hanging out, movies, coffee shops, ventures into the 'big cities,' doesn't matter ... I'm game!

I look forward to meeting you!

I assume that you do not refer to just people staying at Al Ain. Lot of young crowd here i assume so should not be a problem. I am 27/M and staying in Bur Dubai. Drop me a line when you are free.

Hi Missy,

I'm in the marketing field, what about u?

I've recently got a new job offer and I'm currently waiting for my new employment visa to be processed so I got a lot of free time if you'd like to hang out. I've never been to Al Ain but I can imagine how quiet it is

By the way, it would be best to talk by PM (private message) but I believe u need to have at least 5 posts to be eligible to receive/send PMs.

Cheers

Hey Legs,

I'd appreciate some help in knowing what's going on in Al Ain!

I'm an English Teacher at one of the private schools in town. Sounds like a perfect place to meet people, BUT alas, I am the only Westerner there...

It's been a great experience in terms of being immersed in the Arab culture, but not so great for meeting people, as most of the teachers are much older than me, married, with kids...

A/S/L... !! Wanna Cyber ?!?!?! Sorry, really couldn't resist with that thread title

In Dubai myself but I am sure you'll find a few people on here from Al Ain to hang out with.

Thanks ComS... yeah I totally figured that was a sketchy thread line... but I didn't know what else to put!

Oh Missy21, i love your naivety!

In Al Ain, the places to go are the Intercontinental, The Hilton and, surprisingly enough, the park where the ducks are at the bottom of Jebel Hafeet!
