Early Seasons Greetings to all our subscribers. We have got a few items that may be of interest, so we thought a newsletter would be a good way to keep you up to-date.
We have been contacted by American Citizens Abroad who have asked us to pass their website information to our readers. A new restaurant and take-away selling fast food is soon to open and how to watch live TV from the UK and USA over the internet free.
American Citizens Abroad (ACA), the voice of Americans overseas, is a non-profit, non-partisan, all-volunteer organization that represents the interests of Americans living and working outside the U.S. to the Executive Branch of the U.S. Government, the U.S. Congress, and the U.S. Federal Judiciary to insure that Americans overseas are treated with equality and fairness.
We invite you to visit our website at www.americansabroad.org to get information about the issues that are important to American Citizens living abroad, and we encourage you to become an ACA member and to help support ACA on its global mission to be the voice of Americans overseas.
Why
Joao Pessoa has some superb restaurants but when you just want something tasty and fast, there is little choice! The three foods I miss most from the UK are Fish & Chips, Southern Fried Chicken and Curry, so I decided to solve all this and open Union Jack’s!
Where
The restaurant is in Tambau, just one block back from the beach on Antonio Lira, 441 opposite the Luxor Tambau building, we will be running a delivery service but to start with its just takeaway. There is limited seating inside and outside the restaurant.
When
The launch party will be on the 22nd November, anyone who would like to attend, please send me an email (john@emailagora.com) and I will send an email invite. The restaurant will open for business on the 23rd November, initially we will be open Monday to Saturday lunch and evenings to around 10pm.

One of the questions I am asked most by ex-pats is “how can I watch TV over the internet”. A couple of years ago we posted a link to vipbox which shows most European and American sports live. They are now also streaming most major television channels from the UK and the USA. Click on the link above and at the bottom of the page you will see a link marked TV Box, click that and you’ll be given a choice between UK and USA TV. It is free!
If you have any items for sale, a business to promote or any news you would like to share, please let us know via email to admin@paraibaparadise.com and we will send it out in our newsletter. If you are planning a get-together also please let us know, we no-longer arrange the get-togethers but are happy to promote them for others.
Maga and Ricardo have invited us to hold the next get-together at the Palm club, Ave Cabo Branco, Cabo Branco, JoaoPessoa, Paraiba. It will take place on the 11th March 2012 starting at 1pm and finishing around 7pm. Here is a map with the location.
As always there will be a book and DVD exchange, so be sure to dig out all those old books you keep meaning to bring and swap. We would once again like to give people the option to bring 1Kg of non-perishable food or a child’s toy that we will donate to a local ONG working in Joao Pessoa, Paraiba (also we would be very happy to accept any clothes and shoes).
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Keke and Patrick for hosting a great day at their pousada, restaurant and Irish bar in Bessa for the Christmas get-together. Everyone seems to have had a good time, so much so that a few people now attend the bar every friend evening between 5 and 8pm.
