Yeah, I hope so. I forgot I teach at Sunday morning. If I am still fine until Sunday, I will be there :D.

Thanks for understanding and support. Hope we can meet everyone again as we have good news to discuss . See you all.

Hi,

Thank Richard and also thank ms. Ngattt, you send me to this topic. I'm just a new, i hope i can join and talk to all you!!!

Sounds like fun, assuming i'm not still apartment hunting i'll be on it.

hi Richard I'm from nepal ,male 38 looking for an business opportunity in VN in small scale.I would be thankful if u could suggest me some frnds who r looking for business partners.

:gloria. Great, I'd love to join in this time. See all you guys this Sunday. Hope we have more funny friends.

:D Why sit in a coffee bar for 3 hours?
Why not go to a park or fishing or something more outdoors?
We are not all yuppies.

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH ROSS...

WHY NOT TO A PARK... ( FREE.... BRING YOUR OWN DRINK..... AND ENJOY THE WEATHER )

The park definitely sounds like a plan

Hi Richard,

Right, we can sit on the 23/9 Park opposite to Ben Thanh market or Le Van Tam park on Hai Ba Trung str. I love enjoying fresh air. Why dont change for new place, Richard?

Can  I take part in the meeting? I used to be at Le Van Tam park for an English speaking club. I think it's a good place.

Hey guys,
Thanks for your idears. Everyone is welcome to the gathering.
Richard is not in Vietnam now, he is little busy, so he can't reply all your comments.
We will discuss another plan on this gathering.
See you guys there.

I'll be there. I do agree that a park would be nicer. Sounds like the Starbucks kinda place I'd never set foot in normally what with fine quality coffee, which I love, on every corner for 10,000.

    Hopefully, its a open front Viet spot with lawn chairs, cheap tables and great coffee. When I want good food or coffee, I always look for dives that are full , cuz' you know the people aren't there for the ambiance. There's something good in there for sure.

    Anyhow, its right up the road, so see you there. Perhaps one of the things we could talk about is better locations as there seem to be many with opinions.

    Chers all!

so we will meet at where? Highland coffee or park?

Hey girl, did we change the place ;)? No, still in the Highland coffee.
And you guys can give your ideas, we all will discuss about that.

Hi pé, how u doing, haven't seen u for ages hehee. Tom already left vn.
are u join the garthering next Sunday?

Alan and Suzette will be there...

Hi Everyone,
I'm sure gathering at the parks is great. I would also encourage anyone to organize any other activities other than this monthly gathering.  This monthly gathering is to help new expats n new friends to meet up in a place that is easy to find.Not worry about the weather too.
It is also big enough to accommodate more than 20 attendees.  We can always discuss our next plans for everyone here. Hope everyone understand this.  I just back to Hcm today and hope to see you all and more new friends this Sunday.

Hi Richard,
Eric Lim from Singapore,I'm new in ho chi minh city and would like to join this monthly gathering on Sunday Highland coffee.

Im thinking of singing karaoke tomorrow after finishing our gathering :D

Oh I missed it! :( Hope to join in next month.

Here your pictures :D. All is very nice pictures :D.

Sorry to say will miss this one
When is the next one

Andy

Thank you all for coming . We all had a great time chatting. This gathering will always be at the same place to avoid any confusion. Again ,there are friends who are new and told us how happy and easy to find this location. Sometimes is not the coffee or environment but the friendly people that makes the gathering successful. Great to some regular attendees too.
Hope to see you all again next month.

Hello All

Thanks a lot for the Photos share ;)

See you are having a great time!

A little placard with Expat.com on it  with a group photo,  next time, will warm our heart :D
