American Expat Happy Hour

Oh em gee! Last night we went to an American Expat Happy Hour hosted by a MeetUp group. It was so fun! We met at a bar in Darling Harbour and it was a little like speed dating. We all wore name tags and awkwardly exchanged "where are you froms". But then once everyone got a couple drinks in them it livened up! We met a super cute fun couple from Colorado. They are here on a working holiday visa for about a year. It was great mingling with other people in our same situation. I was all like "sooo do you want to be friends? Do you like me? What's your favorite color?" And then I was like "calm down annie don't come on too desperate" and then I was like "I AM DESPERATE LETS HANGOUT WHAT ARE YOU DOING TOMORROW AND THE DAY AFTER THAT???"

But really...it was a super fun night. We reminisced about Chic-fi-la and Chipotle and shared stories about living abroad. We also met a girl from Texas who is living with a family here as an au pair. Which is cool. We all exchanged names and numbers and will hopefully be hanging out again soon!
