Hello!

Topic sticked.

Sounds lovely.  I will try and make it.  May bring my parents too!

@chlo: you and your parents are most welcome.

We had a great Event with some old and several new Friends. But so sad to see that we have 3 posts on Expat-Blog which talking about making new Friends and looking for Friends in SH. But most of the attendance yesterday came from SHStuff and not from Expat-Blog.

I hope next time I see more of you for our Events. Lets come together and make new Friendships in SH.

Xin nian quai le.

Hi,

I'm one of them whom just visit the forum and no response to it.

I feel quite awkward going to such event all by myself! It is just me, however, I will try to make it next time, please continue this great effort!

Happy Chinese New Year!

@Huipintian: next time you should come. Linn, also from Singapore, was there as well. But don't worry, you will get a second chance

Ok sure! I would love to.

Hi there

I just arrived to my new home for the next 7 months. It would be awesome to meet up with other english-speaking people from all around the world with all sorts of interest. I'll try to keep an eye on any future activity.

Also, if anyone wants to grab a coffee or a beer with a marketing student from Denmark, please let me know. I would love to hear about others experiences with this wonderful city

Best regards
Anders

i will also attend the brunch ! nice

Sounds good, I will try to be there for both

Will probably have to pass on the Squash, but count me in for brunch next Sunday

Great initiative guys!!

Hey Hans
very good ideas about this two events ... 
but just checked the Rabbit hole's open time at 5:00pm-12:00(midnight).......
how could we get brunch by this time? or maybe i'm wrong.. i was checking online and got this information ....
All the best,
Jun

I just called the Rabbit hole, although their website says differently they don't do an all-you-can-eat brunch but only a la carte...and for me one of the joys of brunch is the all-you-can-eat part .

So let me look for another joint...does anyone have any other options in the medium price range?

Hey Hans!

Looks like someone is energetically getting the plans running!! So much for being the sidekick

Is the squash event still on tomorrow? If it is, pray what time will it be held? Oh, and are there decent shower facilities in the gym (clean, provide bath towels, etc)?

Hey,

I ahve never been to the squash center, but i can confirm they have shower facilities

Starts at 3pm.

see you there!

Is it possible to have an all-you-can-eat-brunch? I am starting to like Shanghai better every day!

Hey there!

I'm for few days in Shanghai and from April 1st I'll living here for good.

I'll join to the rabbit hole on Sunday and to the tour if you don't mind...

And if anyone wants to have a drink this eve or tomorow eve, i'm your man ;-))

My phone : +32 473 24 61 77

Thanks

Vince
