At the first Shanghai Get-Together I met several American expats. I am very grateful that they shared their experience with me.

Why Irish expats move abroad (& how they like it)

They organize everything from dinners to sightseeing to board game nights. For example, you can enjoy nature with the Outdoors Group, share your love of music with the Jazz Group, or go on an adventure with the Boat Trips Group. There’s something for everyone!
