Well I gave up last Sat's coffee mixer for a nice sunny weekend at HK. Totally worth it! Heh, kidding!

Anyway, Pierro, when will the book exchange happen again?

Hello all, nice to hear that there is a regular Saturday morning coffee meeting. I have just arrived in Shanghai and would hope to come along sometime. This weekend is out because I am helping paint my wife's sisters apartment but hopefully next weekend. Cheers, Andrew and Qi

someone deleted a whole month of posts???

Anyhow, welcome Andrew. Despite starting off on the wrong foot in posting your services, we certainly do welcome you to be part of the community and the coffee meeting happens every week so pop in at your leisure.

just thinking that it would take a lot of beer to get me remotely close to that situation...not sure how many coffees that will take! Surprised

We get people of all ages so beleive me when I say we will try and keep the conversation at reasonably mature level without being too excessive.

Great! I'll try to make it next weekend...
- For some reason I'm not convinced that the level is "reasonably mature"? (table dancing in a "lacey apron"?!) :p

^Based on your post history and other info, I have my reservations...

Quote:

IMPORTANT NOTE: I have gotten messages asking about this event so I want to clarify a few things. This event's intent is to give Expats and their families a chance to meet each other, hang out, and compare notes, to basically help make the experience of living and working in Shanghai a positive one. Any expat is welcome, and any locals who will add-value to the above discussions are also welcome, but please, no commercial discussions will be allowed, and no soliciting by language teachers, nor language exchanges etc... you can do your own meetings for that.

This WILL be enforced as its is all about expats getting a chance to meet.

This Saturday's coffee will happen as usual but I will unfortunaely not be able to attend as I will be working the Eco Design Fair, happening at Anken Green near the Suzhou Creek. Come by there after coffee to check out eco-friendly lifestyle products and such.

So sorry folks, you are on your own for lunch.
