What are some typical ways to socialize, either with local people or with other expatriates? Are there groups or clubs that you can recommend?
Generally going out to bars and night clubs, and doing this all day massive brunches on the weekends at one of the hotels. You can also become a member of the Rugby Club, or some other international clubs. - Apr 2017
Embassy community, bars, clubs, rugby club--the usual. - Sep 2016
Malls, movies, and restaurants are the main things to do. - Nov 2015
House parties, running away from demonstrations and tear gas, going to bars and private clubs like the British Club, Dilum Club, Rugby Club. Friday Brunch is a fun, all-you-can-eat, all-you-can-drink experience that you must do. Movenpick hotel has the best brunch in town. - Aug 2014
Your social life can be as busy as you want it to be. There is a ton going on just in the Embassy community, and plenty in the greater community if you prefer, ranging from casual BBQs to evening balls and everything in between. - Sep 2012
Lots to do depending on circumstances. Also, not much to do, depending on same. Social life is mostly home based entertaining, or club based with the odd charity gala thrown in. - Apr 2010
Dining out (or in) mostly. There are some nice movie theaters, but some scenes are cut out. There are many malls to walk around in. Social clubs are popular. - Jun 2009
Malls, clubs, etc. - Dec 2008
I'm getting tired of repeating myself. Expect to either do NOTHING or drink. For example, the base currently has 1 selection of ground beef (the Angus beef). Then, there is the alcohol section at the base - there you'll find every kind of beer, hard liquor, red wine, white wine etc. - Aug 2008
