The thing is you know some people and couple of month later they will not be there and new set of people will come, so after some time you get tired of wasting time. Is like you are long-term or life-time con in jail where most other cons are short-term, so they come and leave and you and few your buddies stay indefinitely but your group does not want to socilaize with those short-termers as it would be waste and also they are boring because the only thing they talk about is how soon they go home. |

Since it will be Ed's last Malone's tonight as he is going back to US this Friday for goods, feel free to drop by as you can say bye to him over there!
We want to tell Ed that we will miss you a lot! We are waiting for you to come back soon! |

age range 18-75, number in attendance ranges from 30-140. Variable based on holidays, weather, other events in town, the misalignment of the planets etc. Just show up, its always worth popping by a couple times to see before you really get a feeling for what it is and how it fits your needs. besides, 25rmb drinks so if nothing else you get a drink at a decent price before heading off to the next watering hole. crowds tend to show after 9:30 though. |

Where can I find Malones?
Will there be alcohol there or should I bring my own?
Is it a good idea if I bring some straws for everybody to share? I heard straws are very hard to find in China. But I don't want to embarrass anyone by bringing something none of the Chinese people there know how to use. What should I do?
How will I recognize you guys? |

I just arrived in Shanghai, so see you next week ...
If anybody new sees my message, let's meet before going to the mixer (eat something or wathever), that's never easy to come alone in this kind of meeting, even if you're drunk to death to get some "courage" to talk to people.
Contact me via pm !
Ha, btw, I'm a 20-year-old French guy, don't be disappointed iif you expect some hot chick ! |

BenJ, welcome to Shanghai and shanghaiexpat.com. I know how you feel, it wasn't so long ago that I myself had just arrived and wanted to make friends. Feel free to come to our Saturday coffee mixer at Zhongshan Park. You can check out the thread at http://www.shanghaiexpat.com/MDForum-viewtopic-t-60343.phtml
It's quite easy to just go alone, sit down and talk to the people near you.
Oh and feel free to ignore our very own Nutalie above a.k.a. Parkson18single. I doubt even she understood what she wrote half the time. |
