I was really pleased to find this forum - thanks to the founder(s) and moderators.
Well, some quick stuff...
In June I moved back to London after 8 years in the States (Columbus, OH). My girlfriend is American and now lives with me here in Stoke Newington, North London. She's also from OH. Apart from some of my family, we know almost no-one here. We kinda miss American stuff (food, driving, detatched houses, and, er, ok, WalMart).
I'm the director of a charity and my girlfriend is looking for a job (she has a visa) while applying for school. We're student-like and are into alternative music, cool people, dogs, travel and learning stuff. We're not organic food bus stop crazies with aspirations for 2 kids and an Ikea kitchen suite, if you know what I mean. But nor are we hard drug users who hate the idea of government, families and Aunt Jemima.
I'd really like to meet up with fellow Americans/pseudo Americans, especially in the setting of a North American bar in London. (There used to be a great Canadian bar off Covent Garden - is it still around?)
Looking forward to getting to know y'all!
Spooky (And, yes, that's my real name. It didn't go down too well in the US but now I'm back in Limey I can call myself it again.)
