Hi there all - I'm new on Dresden and would look forward to a 'meet-up'. So rather than getting all complicated about it (and as I have to be in England this w/e) I'm just going to sit in JIM BEANS BAR (ALAUNSTR. 57) and watch "the game" on Wednesday night. Actually I have no idea whatsoever when this match will start or even much about it but needs must and I'm told (gullible?) the place is thus guarenteed to be lively at this time. So if anyone feels like just turning up, grabbing a beer etcetera then I'll be there from 9pm. I'll be one in the blue check shirt with light brown/dark blonde hair looking like I'm in my early thirties (if you know what I mean) and clearly having not in truth looking enormously interested in what is happening on the television screen. You can reach me on + 44 7711 823 999 or rupert.pearson@jies.org if you like but no need - just rock up and I'll be there.
Kick-off at 20:45 CET, if I'm not mistaken.
Very efficient! Will be there from 830 pm in that case.
After Jim Beans switched over to a German Football Match when i was watching the Premiership i have been refusing to drink there ever since.
I tend to watch my football at the shamrock in the old town. www.shamrock-dresden.de or something like that. Much better atmosphere and much better service.
They haven´t turned over the channels yet, even on th face of 25 Germans wanting to watch the Bundesliga.
Is anyone interested ???

Hi, I’ve been in Dresden nearly a year now and never bothered to check for this sort of forum. Now I am heading back to Canada in 2 weeks and im kicking myself for not doing this 9 months ago.
This is the second time I have lived in DD (a year last time also) so I potentially know a few helpful snippets.
Anyway hello.

Hi everyone, noob here...ive been in DE since end of April, Dresden for 2 weeks...currently working at the Landtag. would be up for some drinks or something of the sort, since I don't know anyone and my roommate is leaving. cheers
Hello all. I'm not in Dres. yet but have a few questions about the area as I am strongly considering moving there from the US.
I've spoken with a previous local - She recently moved to the US from Dresden, and from what she tells me, it's quite a small town with a bit slower pace of life. Not a lot of tourism there and only a small hand full of English speaking residents. The upside is the culture and beauty of the area. "It's an undiscovered gem" I believe were her exact words.
Can anyone tell me how much of a good or bad idea it would be for a single 24 year old gal from Idaho to move to such a town? I'm going to school next fall in Hamburg for 6 months and would like to live outside the big city if possible. The only setbacks I have are finding work in a smaller city and getting to know others my age. From what I have seen so far there is a large range of ages here on TT but I'm not sure what to expect of the city itself.
Thanks in advance for any comments and input you have.

Dresden might be small for some Germans, but as a small-town American boy, I think it's plenty big. There are half a million people living here and everything that goes with it, from public transportation to great museums, night life (the locals will still say the nightlife is better somewhere else, but my point is that there's a ton to do here), culture and, of course, tourists. In the "old city" (I work close by and used to walk there in my breaks to walk around) all you see are tourists. . . and, if you're into the very old, there's a lot to see here.
Were you considering living in Dresden and going to school in Hamburg? I think that's a bit more commute than I'd wish on anyone.
As for finding work, I think it depends on what you had in mind. Dresden is in the former east and unemployment is pretty high (ten percent-ish?) but I had no problem finding work as an English teacher. Also engineers or other skilled jobs seem to be in demand.
Anything else you'll have to ask in a specific question.

Hola alles,
This is probably the wrong forum, so my apologies in advance...but are there any spanish speaking hangouts, people or places in Dresden? So far I've found a cuban restaurant and a few tapas bars, but nothing really caliente! I am craving some quesadillas, enchiladas, tamales & pinto beans! Not to mention some huevos rancheros con tortillas (thats eggs ranch-style with some spice). Help!
