Bored in the Rheinland-Pflaz

anyone like me, stuck in a small village, having left behind family and friends back in Canada?
been here for a year and havent meet any fellow canadians - yet - but am dying to speak English, without having to speak like a robot! Gimme a shout if youre bored too!

i guess no one else is stuck in the boonies like me!

What's the closest big city to you?

mannheim, heidleburg

I'm sure there's lots of Canadians, and definitely americans in Heidelberg. I've been there a few times and met many!

And some have posted on this board before. Have you spent any time in heidelberg yet?

Hi,

I am stuck as well in Aschaffenburg, not so much happening and I have not meet so far many English speaking people.

You are not the only one at least !!!

My wife and i Canadian citizens but originally from England and Germany. We live in Heidelberg and our friend Tina who is also from Ontatio also lives here. Let us know if you want to get together sometime.
We lived in Ontario , B.C and Alberta for 25 years before moving here 4 years ago.

Poor you! I know exactly how you feel.
We're stuck in a hillbilly town near Olpe - in Reichshof-Hespert.
In about 3 years we didn't meet any Canadians. In August we're going to relocate to the UK. I miss Canada so much. We hope everything works out and we're able to go home next year!?!

Good luck to you

Hi. I am not sure exactly where you are located but I can sympathize with you. Before my boyfriend moved to Dusseldrof I would go from Canada to his tiny village to visit him and I would sit and stare out the windows all day. Now that he is in Dussledorf it is not much better, though now I am living with him. I am waiting for my language course to start and I feel like a complete fish out of water. It is hard enough trying to make friends in Canada, forget it if you don't speak the language!
