We will probably show up around one. There will be someone there from Shanghaiexpat as early as 12:30. People come and go until 2 or 3. Look forward to seeing you there!

Its very easy going and informal. Keep in mind that most people are there to meet other people and in the same boat as you.. so it is very easy to strike up a conversation. I will be there.. hope to see you all there Sunday.

Strangers are only strangers because you feel strange around them. If you start talking and have a conversation.. you no longer feel strange. come on out and get to know a few more people.

yeah talking to strangers out of the cold is definitly weird. Anyone living in Pudong near century park? btw, I just joined the forum. My name is Zhuo,I am chinese, but I left when I am 9 yrs old. Do I qualify? My favorite coffee is the Tim Horton's blend from Canada.

well good thing its summer here and not Canada and so you will get to speak to strangers when its hotter than heck out Wink/ No other way to meet new people...and besides, once you speak to them they are no longer strangers...though some of us remain rather strange Wink
