Great!..just come. You can give us a short intro about yourself here so we all would know who you are too. See you

Do you have the meet ups on the same day/time? My boyfriend and I would like to join in but we teach until 5pm every Sunday! We are from England arrived here in Vietnam in January and we are eager to meet new people and learn the language!

Regret to inform you that the monthly gathering  will be on Sunday at 3pm as it is the most convenient  time for all but I do understand some need to work on Sunday. That is why we extend to dinner.  I will pm you my contact so we all still can meet up for dinner. We do occasionally  have smaller gathering among us when we keep in touch. The monthly gathering is the foundation for newbie to get in touch for the first time. That is why we have it at the same location to avoid any confusion.Keep in touch soon. See you both soon.

Sounds great! Ok me and my friend here will join the party, big thanks! Looking forward to see you all...

Hi Mr. Richard,

I'm really interested in this top because I like meeting new people and wanna learn from everyone from different countries , So I really wanna join this event. Could you please tell me more about the program that you organized last time. And what should the attendance prepare for this event, and how much does it cost for each person.

Thank you for letting us know about this

Cost?....well you just pay for your own drink/food when u order at the counter.. Just come and spread your smiles. We are really a bunch of friendly people. Just pretend everyone is your old friends and you will be ok. We want to create a positive environment and even encourage  you to change  seats so you get to chat with everyone.  And if you want....join us for dinner too. You can check out our previous gathering  photos. Hope to see you.

Brs,

The pretend is to break the ice and shyness but at the end they will eventually be your friend . We don't pretend to be friends . Hope you understand this.  Many pm me they are shy but I just tell them this method . Works for me! Hope you will enjoy ..

Yes, I was just kidding, I know you mean the good point . Hope the gathering will be successful. Enjoy ^^

Hmm. ...sure ....wow....now we have family coming. Would your children want to come? We are adults and speaks mostly English.  Though there is no language restriction.  We do prefer you move around other seats to get to know more people. There is no age limit to as long as you like to chat and mingle. So I don't know if your children would want to do that....or just sit there getting on the wifi? ^^. Sure Hung,.....let's meet your family...see you.

Thank you Richard,
We'll try our best to come together with our children.
See you soon.

Hi Loo
Just found out this thread, it's so interesting...
I am Hai, call me Dustin, newbie, I will arrange to join, can you give me your info so that I know who I will look for next Sunday

All the best,

Hi Richard,

I've been living at HCM for nearly 2 months and would love to meet new people. Is it okay if I can attend the gathering and bring a few friends along?

@Dustin: Pls find Highland Coffee shop at 181 Ham Nghi, Dist. 1 (opposite to Ben Thanh market) and just go upstairs, then you can ask the waiter/ waitress at Highland where is the expat group, they will show you.

Welcome . I am sure you will be happy to meet new local and expats friends. Do bring your friends too. I will reserve more seats this time as I am sure this will be a big gathering. But I am sure the cafe can accommodate all of us
Hope the previous attendees will continue to come so we can get to know you better.
See you all.
