There are some great expat events ahead.
( You can see the Facebook pages without having to log in on Facebook, just click on the links ! To see the whole event description click on "See More" ! )

an expat meetup at Villi Wäinö on Wednesday December the 5th starting at seven pm. More here:
http://www.facebook.com/events/266234263499395/

a meetup at Café Mascot on Friday December the 14th starting at seven pm ! More here:
http://www.facebook.com/events/443518692372854/

a meetup at restaurant Vltava on Wednesday December the 26th starting at six ( yes, six ! ) pm. More here:
http://www.facebook.com/events/168743379938498/
Vltava does not give table reservations so this time the staff can not help you find the group. Only the ground floor will be open.
Vltava will most likely not be packed with people at 6pm on this particular evening so the group should not be impossible to find.

Hello everyone! I will be the new organizer for the Helsinki Expat Meetup events in 2013. I will come to a few meetups in December to meet and greet everyone, and get ideas for what you would like to do in the coming year. You can also send a message through Finland Forum, or to the FB group Helsinki Expat meetup. Beginning with New Years! Let me know what you have in mind, and we will see what we can work out. Look forward to meeting you all! :D
Jessica

A change of plans ! :

The meetup at Villi Wäinö on Wednesday December the 5th will be held in the street level bar and not in the basement. This arrangement was suggested to me by Villi Wäinö a few minutes ago.It is possible and even likely that there will be much more people in the basement than usual because the bar in the cellar will exceptionally be open on Wednesday. Because our group is quite large Wäinö suggested that we move the meetup from the basement to the street-level bar where there will be more space. There will be a Helsinki Expat Meetup sign on our table. If you have trouble finding the group you can always ask the staff for help. They have a list of table reservations and Helsinki Expat Meetup is on that list.

There will be an expat meetup at Café Mascot on Friday January the 11th starting at five pm. More here:
http://www.facebook.com/events/564112320269018/
( You do not have to log in on Facebook to see the page, just click on the link ! )

The meetup starts a bit early but you can of course drop by later also, at any time.
The meetup is organized and will be hosted by Jessica Powell ( an American from North Carolina ). It does not cost anything to participate, you just pay your own expenses. Do not forget to RSVP if you are attending !

Now that Jessica is the organizer these expat meetups will be held more often than before and they will also be more varied. If you are new in town and do not know that many people you should definitely attend at least one of them and see what the meetups are like.

The next meetup after January the 11th will be a cocktail lounge meetup at A21 on Thursday January the 17th:
http://www.facebook.com/events/410289769040407/
( To see the whole event description click on "See More" ! )

The meetup starts at six pm ! The cocktail lounge opens to the general public at eight pm but members of Helsinki Expat Meetup will be let in from six pm when you ring the door bell ! Special people get special treatment ! :wink:
