christchurch newbeeeee

[jojo28]

Hello everyone

I just moved to Christchurch in November from the UK with my partner, we moved here because of his job, and now he is back at work, im thinking doobey doobey do, what can i do with myself? im finding meeting people to be a lot harder than i thought, i joined an exercise class to see if that would help, but everyone seems to keep to themselves.

i really want to meet new people in christchurch before i turn into a hermit
is there any one out there in a similar position? im in my late 20's and im up for anything, espically if it involves drinking wine and having a laugh

i like art, sports, most music and 'window' shopping. Please get in contact if you feel the same, and im not a weirdo, i have never done anything like this in my life lol-i just have got to the point where i have thought-to hell with it-

There's a lot of people in the same boat in Christchurch, been quite an influx recently.

I've been here coming up on a year now and like you say it can be quite difficult to start with especially if you're not working, the wife was like that when she first got here but she's earning her keep now,

I always suggest sports clubs and the like as a good way of meeting people, it's certainly what I done and I'm around the same age as yourself.

I get the feeling that Christchurch is still in shock, and the old clubs (drinking and otherwise) and meeting places haven't really settled down yet.
I hope you get to meet some people!

Thought - if you want to start a 'Christchurch Social Group' thread I'll put it as a sticky for a while so it doesn't disappear down the list.

I think a lot of that comes down to the different parts of the city, some aren't vastly different than before the earthquake and others are obviously a long way from normal.
