Before I left Singapore to go to France, a good friend advised me to do some 'networking' and sourced for other Singaporeans or English speaking people in Toulouse France. That's what I did. I went to some expat blogs and starting searching... And yes! I was really fortunate that I found one and she started introducing me to other Singaporean friends here. I am really grateful for that. It definitely make me feel better and not so home sick.
I also started to go to some indoor plays or parks to find English speaking mothers like me and hopefully we can do play date with their children. Imagine eavesdropping on people's conversation to see if they are English speaker. Haha. Well, I just got to be thick-skinned - if not I have no friends here and I'll go insane.
I heard about a website call mom & tots. They are groups of English speaking mothers who meet often, together with their children. One day, I'll go join them... Once I could drive well in Toulouse. Oops!
