Girl looking for female friends for quality girly time.

Post new topic

Hey,
My name's Rosie. I moved to Ho Chi  Minh city from Toronto in January, and I'm teaching English here. I plan on being here until the end of November.
I'm getting a little lonely and I miss my girl friends back home. I live with my boyfriend in district 11. Most of the girls around my age (24) either don't speak English very well (not their fault, my vietnamese is pretty rubbish), have babies so they can't go out for a night on the town, or both. If I go out drinking with my boyfriend and his cousins, it's always a bunch of dudes and myself.  Since I'm in district 11 I'm kinda  isolated from the expat community which seems centred around district 1, but I'm totally down to meet up with peeps downtown. (I thought about going to district one and trying to pick up random girls but figured I'd come off as creepy, so I'm posting this instead).

I'm looking for someone to talk to about life/boys/work/books/tv/movies while drinking a cup of coffee/sipping girly cocktails/pounding beers.
I'm looking for someone who likes to go dancing occasionally. I'm not looking to pick up guys, but if you want I can play wingman. ;) maybe we could dance our hearts out at a gay bar for a night and not have to worry about getting hit on ( do they do that here?)
I'm looking for someone to go see movies with or walk around the botanical gardens.
Do you like to knit? I'm not very good, but I've got some needles and yarn. Stitch and bitch?
We could cover our faces in mud at a spa, or even better, cover our faces in mud going camping!

I'm not looking for: a boyfriend, a tour guide, language exchange (but if English isn't your first language, that's cool).

Message me if you think you'd like to be friends :) we can start off slow, maybe get a cup of coffee? Cafe sua da?

Cheers,
Rosie

maybe you can try couchsurfing.org or join 'Expats in Ho Chi Minh City' on Facebook to find some friends?

Pogostick

hey, sorry I haven't replied in a while!

Nice to meet you Kiku and Marina :)

@ Lastintranslation - Go Leafs Go! (we had a hard loss in the game against Boston though, still a little sore after that).

@ Lauryn - Thanks for the tip! I'm actually already on couchsurfing, I finally got around to looking at it last weekend and I went to a boardgame thing this week. I'll check out the facebook group!

Cheers,
Rosie

Hi Rosie,

I am in District 11. I live in Ward 5, excuse me, which Ward do you stay? You can go to Dam Sen park to experience the Vietnam life style and maybe we can catch up for a coffee if you do not mind. I am interested in the knitted thing you said. Look forward to your response. I can be contacted at 0909194652. My English is okay to talk to you.

Cheers,

Nga

Ps.: So far I do not see many foreigners in District 11. You are a seldom/ rare case I think.

Dude, you're my soulmate lol: no, I swear I'm not a creeper.
I'm in Binh Thanh District with my husband (no kids) here another year or so as well. I'm basically in the same boat you are! I'm 24 and find it difficult to make friends here. My husband speaks Vietnamese though so he's having a blast. We're both American English teachers. I'm pretty quiet and reserved, but you sound über outgoing so I think that would bring me out of my shell :P I am in love with dancing, the environment, and cheese.
Only one setback....I don't drive. Lets be honest, it's a jungle out there and it scares me. :/ maybe someday.

Anyways! Just message me if you're still looking for a buddy :)
