User:ויקיג'אנקי/Meetup

If you are currently staying in for an extended period of time you can try taking part in face-to-face meetups organized by different groups of locals that share a particular common area of interest (such as groups of people whom get together to hike/travel, local groups whom get together to watch films at the cinema, groups interested in specific hobbies, groups whom meetup to play a specific sport, get-togethers of people from a specific ethnic group/nationalities, etc.).

On this page at the website Meetup.com you'll be able to see which groups currently exist and are active in, join the group/s that is/are most interesting to you and that are located within a reasonable distance from you, and eventually try to take part in one of their upcoming meetups. Who knows, you might be in luck and get to meet some good new friends whom living nearby. Even if you only pla on staying in for a week or so, you can still try to attend upcoming meetups, held during the time in which you'll be in town, organized by various locals - in this page you'll be able to see a list of the upcoming meetups scheduled to be held in the  area).

Please note, for safety reasons, we recommend going to meetups only if they are scheduled to take place at central public places and are attended by many participants.
