oving to a new<br />

city can be<br />

difficult. <strong>The</strong>re is so<br />

much to do - finding a<br />

place to live, hooking<br />

up utilities, getting<br />

acclimated in your new<br />

job and more. <strong>The</strong>n at<br />

night, when everything<br />

settles down, you may<br />

find yourself alone with<br />

little to do. If you are<br />

ready to get out <strong>the</strong>re and meet some new friends, here are some helpful hints<br />

to get you started.<br />

Some places to meet new friends are<br />

better than o<strong>the</strong>rs. <strong>The</strong> more of <strong>the</strong><br />

following that apply <strong>the</strong> better:<br />

FAMILY<br />

• It’s somewhere where<br />

<strong>the</strong> situation breaks<br />

<strong>the</strong> ice for people and<br />

naturally gives <strong>the</strong>m<br />

reasons to talk to each<br />

o<strong>the</strong>r.<br />

• It allows you to reliably<br />

see <strong>the</strong> same people<br />

several times, so you<br />

have a chance to get<br />

comfortable with <strong>the</strong>m<br />

and gradually get to<br />

know <strong>the</strong>m.<br />

• It allows you to meet<br />

people who are similar<br />

to you, in terms of your<br />

hobbies and values.<br />

• It’s somewhere where<br />

<strong>the</strong>re’s a core of<br />

regulars, but <strong>the</strong>re<br />

are also new people<br />

to meet continually<br />

entering <strong>the</strong> mix.<br />
