I saw the schedules in Viber's group, but I am very busy in this month, we have Teacher's Day in this month, and my University celebrates 60 years old, my Faculty celebrates 15 years old ==> many parties to join, hahaha :D.

My evening class will be finished next two weeks, then I can have much more time to join.

Hi Richard,

I was reading your gathering postings and I would love to meet new friends as I'm very new here in Ho Chi Minh.  But don't think I can make time to join the 22nd. party, maybe next time.   I would like to join the WhatsApp group or Wechat group first to get to know everyone if you don't mind.


Thanks Richard

Thank you all for coming. It was a really great time to get to know everyone.  We have a big turn out of 42 attendees from 13 different  countries.  First time we have Mexican and Portuguese too. It was a great pleasure to meet again some familiar faces who came to our gathering last year. It is always good to catch up and update activities.
We chatted until 6pm to proceed for dinner and after that an evening outing with live band performances.  Thank you all for a great evening. See you again.
Photos will be posted here soon. Take care
