Welcome, Foreign Friends!

Anyone who is a foreigner to the USA, whether you speak English or not, is very welcome in this group!

This is a purely social group of existing and future friends, who meet just to have fun.

***When you join, PLEASE do all three things written at the bottom! This is mostly as a courtesy to everyone else, and we are a very close and respectful group.***

This group is for FOREIGNERS (people who are not native U.S. citizens) from all over the world. If we can't speak the same language we can use our hands-and sometimes some wine ;).

This group is for anyone who has English as a Second Language (ESL), and those who have it as a first language, but were not born in this country.

We have members from Europe, Latin America, Africa, Asia: Scandinavia; Sweden, France, Germany, England, Turkey, Portugal, Mexico, Ecuador, Venezuela, Peru, Egypt, Russia, Bulgaria, Korea, China, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, Indonesia, India ...among others.

What you will get in this group:
- to meet other very friendly, accepting, fun foreigners who will become your friends!
- to know about the best international and American parties and events!
- discounts on entrance fees/meals/etc.!

We always have FUN, so whether you have just been in the U.S. for a few hours or for most of your life: don't hesitate to join us!

(As the Organizer I pay a monthly fee to Meetup to keep this group going. This helps me with that.)

I just signed up on twitter (user name: pawsandthink), so if you want to follow me, click on the link in the upper right corner on this page! That way I can send tweets if a meeting place changes, or you can't find me in a meetup place, etc.
