It means u're free to have dinner by ur own :D For examples, u can hv dinner at home or before u go to meet-up; or u can order at Casbah lounge; or in between of part 1 & part 2, we can hv street food as dinner while we're on the way to Casbah lounge;...  Understand? I'll try to change objective of meet-up so u guys will not get boring to see each others weekly :P

Hi Bechum, thanks for ur notice. I am glad to join part 2. Hope the weather will make us a perfect day :)

Hi, if i can make it it will be for Part 2 and possibly Part 3 but only if its at the Hard Rock Cafe..

Please let me know which venue part 3 is going to be at asap.

Thanks

I love part 2 and wanna join in here.

For part 1, ice age is wonderful but in my opinion, we gather lots of people but go to cinema...
1st, we can't talk or make friend with new persons
2nd,it will make boring for new commers.

sound really perfect!!! hix...hix...:( i can't join this time neither! I'm at Summer Camp!
You guys, have fun!! ;)

hello everybody! I like to call this club "lộn xộn". ( bechum: it 's funny when you have to deal with " 9 người 10 ý "),and I add this mess too haha, I also have an idea too.:D
why not going to a new restaurant : "món ngon từ bò 469" , 469 Hòa Hảo , ward 5, district 10 to enjoy some good dishes ( beefsteak with different sauce, spaghetti, noodles..). it 's cheap, clean and really delicious.( from 30-48 for each dish). more importantly : we are free for drink and cold napkin if we do not order some drinks with the price more than 15.
but I think this week is for ice age 4, next week we will go this place for dinner? I think some of you saw a cow in your dream, so why not going to eat beef.

It comes from the 1st meet-up that we held on Thursday ka, then we want to make it regular....

I want to make an opportunity for expat members & friends gathering together, making new friends, having funs & relax after work, ... normally the plans always have main part was gathering at place where we can gather & talk, to know each others well; then hang out somewhere for funs.

Therefore I think u guys can spend ur time on week days after work for new friends, I do think about weekends, but it's kinda special days for special person, right :P and some also out of town for traveling or coming back hometown at weekends. That's why I keep making meet-ups on Thursday.

However, let's raise ur ideas when u guys want to hang-out at weekend, then others who get interested & available would be join :) always welcome :cool:
