Kumustaka Rona,
Welcome, you can join us when we go for dinner if you want. Please pm me for details.

This is great, I am in town and will be able to make it on that day. Since I was away from the city, seems like this is a very happening meeting with many ½ûÂþÌìÌà members. I am looking forward to be there.

Hi there.
I'm new to Vietnam as well as this whole online chatting thing - can you give me a sort of break down of how the day/night plays out? I mean like, how much money will I need etc..?
I'm not 100% sure if I'll be able to make it as I haven't been here very long & still have a lot of setting up to do but it would be cool to meet new people if/when possible.

Excuse me....what online chatting.? This is just a gathering for expats and local friends to meet up,exchanges views ,ideas and helping each other. We do organize other events from time to time. What are you referring to? Just pay for your beverage and be a friend. See you
I am not sure what the group normally like. As for me at night around that area I like to go Com Tom Mon or Mon Hue. Both are excellent restaurant with aircondition and price are quite reasonable. However, if a local can recommend a local food which is need to be discover at the general area better still. I leave it to you as to cater for a good number of people we need to reserve a place.
