That's cool - I finish teaching at 5 pm at 35 Le Thanh Ton St D1 - opposite Vincom Centre 1. I'll walk to Highland Coffee. It's about a block further past Ben Thanh market isn't it?

It is just opposite  Ben Thanh market nearby the big roundabout.  See you

oh yep, that one! great, thanks Richard. See you Saturday I hope. I'm starting Vn lessons again with Kim tonight in D2.

Hello Richard,

I'm a new member in the forum and a local guy, so I would like to wonder that may I attend this meeting? I'm so interested if I can be attended.

Thank you,

Tpeace

Of course. Everyone is welcome.  See you

Great, I will come.

Hi Richard,

I'm so sorry for missing the meeting. I will try to attend to the next time.

Regards

So sorry I missed it AGAIN Richard. I've been quite sick for the past week with a bad cough etc so didn't want to spread my germs. I hope to be well for the next one.! btw... my band is playing this Sunday night 6/3 from 9pm at Saigon Ranger Bar in D1 & Im also singing in a duo at Pendolascos Italian restuarnat in Thao Dien D2 Tues 8th March for Womens Day!

Here some photos of this monthly gathering

And some people had dinner together:


Thank you everyone for joining and having fun with us. See you guys next time!

Hey Richard, when is the next expat meet up? Sadly I missed this one

Hi  everyone,

I'm a new bee here and I'll be coming to Saigon next month to take a CELTA training course. Chances are I'll be around looking for an English teaching job somewhere. I can also teach computer courses as well since I had been in IT for quite some time here in the US. Any "surviving" tips living in HCMC? I'm all ears

Also, where would I go to get me a decent classical guitar?

Cheers,

Z

Hi...
