Canadians in Stuttgart

hi folks!

I just heard about TT and thought i'd check it out. I've been studying and living in the Stuttgart area for over 2 years now, and although I hear people speaking English on the bahn, I have yet to meet any Canadians. At my university (Hohenheim) there are many international students, but in the whole time I've been there I've only come across 2, who were only here for a short time.

So am I the only one? Is Stuttgart just full of Brits and Yanks? I'd really like to know!

well there's at least one more i'm from toronto, have been here for 6 years.

what part of canada are you from?

cheers,
ana

Hey! Where were you guys when we were living in Stuttgart 5 years ago!

Wonderful to know that Knucks exist in Stuttgart too!

Chris

woohoo!!

more Canadians, that's exciting

ana - i'm from Toronto as well. grew up there, then got my degree in Guelph.

Tim Hortons Lady (love the name, btw!) where are you from? are you still in Germany?

Guelph's my home town! lived there 10 yrs b4 going off to uni in waterloo and the folks are still there. Been here in munichtown for 3 yrs (can't believe how fast time flies!).

Add my husband and I to the list! Here 2.5 years, and have met only 1 Canadian here in Stuttgart. Discovered TT just last month...and very glad I did! :D

Unfortunately the only people I have met here are Brits and a couple of Americans, but we are a very friendly lot

Yet another Canuck in Stuttgart. Arrived in December 2006, had to head back to Canada for a bit for family stuff...But back again in Stuttgart!

Always lookin' for other Canucks here!

I am a Mainer (3 hours south of the boarder) in Ludwigsburg. I drank my share of Molson.

Good to hear that there are other Canadians around my area.. I am 19 years old from Vancouver but living currently in Karlsruhe:)

Hi, Just moved here 5 months ago from Vancouver (Who by the way have made the NHL playoffs!!!) I live in Pforzheim.
Would love to hear from other Canadians in the area.

I am a Newfoundlander in Stuttgart and I know of only one other Canadian here. PM me if anyone is wanting to meet up.

I'm from Toronto (going to uni in Waterloo), doing an internship in Germany for four months. I'm staying in Ingelheim (near Mainz), and planning to visit Stuttgart coming weekend (Fri-Sun). Any suggestions what to do, what to see in Stuttgart?

Howdy!

I just joined and thought I'd introduce myself. My name is Vera, and I've been living just outside of Schwaebisch Hall for about 2 years now. I'm 43, married to a German, and have been in Europe since 1999. First a few years in Switzerland, then a couple around Reutlingen, and now we've just bought a house about 25 km south of Schwaebisch Hall so I guess we're finally going to settle down a bit. I'm originally from Toronto. No children, but we've got two dogs.

Anyone else in the area? I've met a few Brits and Americans around here, but no Canadians so far.

Cheers
Vera

Hello we are a couple of Canadians from Ontario now living in Stuttgart, Does anyone know if their is a place to celebrate Canada day next week around here?

Hmm... how about trying the Canadian Consulate in Stuttgart? I'll bet they will do something regarding Canada Day.

Hi my name is actually Charles. (unfortunately Charles was already taken as a user name though.)

Any Canadians still out there in Stuttgart??

Charles

hey Charles!

we just had a Canadian leave a couple weeks ago, sadly, but I am still here indefinitely...you should come out sometime on Thursday, see the Chilled nigh out thread

If you can't do Thursdays because of work or whatever, let me know and I'm sure we can arrange another meetup on the weekend sometime.

cheers,
tatjana

Hey, as my name suggests, I am Canadian as well. Tatjana, I also go to the University of Hohenheim. Someone mentioned you to me actually. We should meet up. There is also another girl who arrived yesterday from Canada. We both go to the University of Guelph. But I am from Toronto. Hope all of us Canadians can meet up.

Janet

You could add me into the one Canadian who still cheers for the Oilers group...

I am in Heidelberg but wanted to say hello. I also went to the University of Waterloo but graduated many years ago . I am afraid I may be too old for the university types but if there is anyone over 30 who wants to catch up, perhaps remember what it was like living in Canada, many moons ago, let me know.

hey,

I just moved to stuttgart a couple weeks ago. Wouldnt mind meeting up with some Canadians(or others) my age(24). Its getting pretty boring just knowing my boyfriend, his family and friends. Would like to make some friends of my own.

I don't know many Canadians in the area. I still haven't found the "be all and end all" expat site to find them. expatica.com worked for a while when I was in Karlsruhe. There were a bunch of us expats there. I am a bit older than you but not old enough to be your mom . There is the fest in Stuttgart at the end of September. I always go so we could meet up there. You can check out my article about the Spring fest in Stuttgart if you like - maybe you have been there? I find the spring and fall fests quite similar (you could almost say identical, although experts would disagree). The Stuttgart Spring Festival

Hey suchen,

I'm working in Toronto but am in Stuttgart at my company's headquarters about half the time if not more. I'm flying over Sunday, if you wanna meet up some time next week. Just give me a shout. (Oh and I'm 23 )

Hi Marquie8,

I am new to Germany and TT. Just found the site. I am from Toronto and currently living in Mannheim. I have been here 1 month, moved to join my husband who has a job here in IT. Just wanted to say hi and let you know there is another over 30 Canadian here too.

Sarah

Hello to all,

I just joined TT today, and am very thrilled to be in touch with Canadians as well as any other English speakers. I come from Toronto, and have been living in Stuttgart since March 2006.

cheers

One more Canadian here, well one and a half actually because my German husband became Canadian in May. I have been here 2 weeks now, but this is my second time around in Stuttgart. I would be interested in meeting a few Canadians.

Tonya (and Harry)

Great idea Tonya (and Harry)!

Let's meet and get to know each other soon...is anyone else interested?

I'm currently on vacation back home in Canada, but I come back the second week in October. I'd love to get together when I get back if anyone's up for it!

Anyone want to meet up for the Volksfest?

We would be up for a trip to the Volksfest.

Tonya and Harry

I'll be at the Heidelberg Herbstfest this weekend, but what about Saturday, October 4? We would have to be in a tent by 4:00 or 4.30 to possibly get seats (becoming more and more unlikely without reserving a table these days). Any later and we might have to stand in a line to get in a tent. I have a favourite tent I go to with decent German fest music... will try to find the name of it.

Hello! another Canadian from Toronto, nice to meet you all. I've been here since June 08 would love to check out Volksfest but I will be out of town the long weekend...

Hi, I am Canadian, too. I live in the Würzburg area and just wanted to mention that after living here for nine years, I have only met three Canadians!
I hope all of you can get together and have a great time!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!

Let me know when you guys are available to meet-up. The homesickness is starting to set in.

Tonya

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!! I took the day off and had a great meal although it was not turkey. I've gotten some great photos of the fall trees in Ontario from friends... it does make me homesick...

Just registered here. I am from the GTA and recently moved here to Stuttgart and love to hear from other Canadians here...
