Hi, like me, am sure those of you who live in Puxi don't mind making the trip to meet in Pudong with like minded mummies. We are from Singapore and have a 11month old son and live in Puxi. Well, if anyone would like to meet over here anytime, feel free to pm me or leave a msg here and maybe we can work out something? Cheers. Or maybe we could carpool (cabpool?!) to Pudong? Smile

Hallo everybody. I am a mother of two girls: 4 and 9 years old. We are eager to find friends here in Shanghai, Pudong. We are russian but can speak English. And it would be fine if my elder daughter found here a friend, a girl of her age to have a good time together and also to practice her English. The girl likes music, painting, roller-skating. May be the only problem is that she is rather shy. If there are some meetings for families in Pudong we will join them with great pleasure!

I'll be moving to Shanghai with my husband and kids. I'd love to know your honest answer: are you happy that you made the move? How about your kids? Has it been hard for them to adjust? We're moving from the US for probably two years. I've lived overseas before but only in Latin America. I have no experience with Asia at all! sleep

Hi, I'm a daddy staying in Pudong area, towards Science center area. I'm writing on behalf of my wife, who is getting bored and restless by the minute.

May I know how these meetings are like? Is it just casual chit chat and exchange of information .... as well as a playgroup for kids? Any home meetup sessions?

Thanks.

Hi pixel8, so far we have lunch meetings once or twice a month. Some moms bring their kids along, so the children do get to mingle somewhat. I guess you can sort of say "casual chit chat and exchange of information" happen at these gatherings. It's just a good way to meet up with other expat parents and make new friends... so that we have someone to turn to in times of stress here!

We have further meet ups apart from these, shopping for stuff, visiting places etc.

We'll probably have a Christmas lunch party sometime in the next two weeks. Details will be posted later. All are welcome to join us!
