The InterNations Weekly
Are You a Self-Made Expat? Typically, expats are sent abroad to work on a project or transferred to an overseas branch of their company. In that case, the employer usually helps with visa issues and other red tape. But what about those among us who did the overseas job search on their own and who organized their move abroad without the help of an HR department? Self-made expats clearly have a lot more on their plate and often it takes just a little more courage to start a new life abroad from scratch. Are you a self-made expat? Then visit the InterNations world forum and share your story with other members.
Oktoberfest Celebrations around the World As yet another month comes to an end we are celebrating Oktoberfest here at our headquarters in Munich. On Wednesday, October 3rd, Munich is hosting its second Oktoberfest event. So, go get your ticket for a great evening, complete with cocktails, wine, and a typical Bavarian "Brotzeit". Let's take a look at our Communities around the world and see where else it is time to put on your "Dirndl" or "Lederhosen". InterNations Minneapolis celebrates Oktoberfest on Saturday, October 6th. Join us at an authentic Bavarian-style bar and restaurant for great beer and great company. Our members in Singapore also get to join in the fun. After last year's success, we will meet at the Fullerton Hotel on Saturday, October 6th, to recreate some of that Oktoberfest magic. Every expat visiting our Singapore Oktoberfest event gets to enjoy beer, wine, and treats from a select German buffet. Of course, our new Communities deserve to be mentioned as well. For the InterNations Uppsala First Event our Ambassador has negotiated special drinks prices, so that our members can feel like VIPs all night long. Global minds in Edmonton get to meet at an international pub for the 1st Official Edmonton InterNations Event. Come join us there to spend time with other expats and make some new friends. InterNations members in Ireland should not miss out on our Cork October 2012 Meetup. Cork members meet at a relaxed venue to mix and mingle and get to know each other. Around midnight, the group will then leave the venue to head to Crane Lane.
Sports and Culture This week, we have some great activities in store for you to satisfy both the sports fans and the culture enthusiasts among you. On Sunday, September 30th, our InterNations Abidjan Football group meets for a Weekend Football Game. This time, the group will play on a dirt field, so remember to bring some good running shoes for the game. On the same day, our Mumbai Cricket Team meets as well to enjoy a relaxed Cricket Sunday. For the first event, we will try to keep things basic and use tennis balls in order to avoid injuries. So come on by and enjoy the spirit of this beautiful game. Do you love arts and culture? Our Basel Culture and Lifestyle group meets on Friday, October 5th, for the Degas Exhibition and Dinner. Edgar Degas is regarded as one of the founders of impressionism and his works are as fascinating as ever. After the visit to the exhibition, the group will head to an Asian restaurant just outside of the museum for dinner. In London our Gallery Visits group gets together to head to the exhibition of Vintage Vogue by James Mylne. Mylne creates biro drawings and is considered a master of his art. Meet us on Thursday, October 4th, for an exhibition you should not miss. Finally, our Brussels Galleries and Exhibitions group has something in store for you as well. The group gets together on Saturday, October 6th, for Nuit Blanche 2012. Nuit Blanche is an artistic and cultural event allowing you to experience art pieces and events throughout the city.
