Chel, they are held everyweek for as long as I can remember. Just watch out for P1atl10 and Yu888 on Wedneday night, they will get into their jammies and walk along Tongren Road after a few too many drinks.

no jammies for me this coming saturday though I shall be there with...well probably babyyu, and no, he will also not be in jammies.

Anyhow, another weekend is almost upon us and despite busy schedules, work and personal, i hope those who are up for coffee will pop on by. It seems P1atL10 mayy not be around, but maybe the fine captain and a few others will join. As I may have a sleepy toddler with me, it may be an open lunch day if I need to get him back for a nap around then, so it shall remain to be seen.

Nonetheless, come on out and we will see you there!

Oh god, Taco Bell. I'd repressed that memory. Get the runs every time I go there (about once a year just to prove it wasn't a fluke.) Thanks, plates, my ass is puckering just thinking about that place.

17 pages in and you expect it to be all on topic?

OK...you win.

Come to the Saturday Coffee everyone....

Where there will not be any Taco Bell offerings that give you intestinal distress.

Better?

Hi... my husband, and 18mo old daughter and i are moving to Shanghai in October. We will be in town June 25-July 8 and we would love to meet some of you, especially those of you with other kids/toddlers.

Is the saturday coffee meetup the best event for us?

We will try to make it this coming weekend!

Saturday morning coffee is a good starting point but make sure you keep your daughter's Brownies (or B'fast Burrito) away from P1atl10, he has the reputations of stealing Brownies at these meetings.

Come on out! I brought my son (21mos) last weekend and probably will not have him with me this weekend, but still, you are welcome to attend and we do indeed have a few insights on kids in Shanghai.

will be tomorrow.....but not at the coffee.

Shenzhen now...0730 flight to Hongqiao, then directly to Kunshan.

I hate when the real world interferes with my life!

CC...no brownie or burrito snitching for me tomorrow....oops, just looked at the clock.

Correction

Today!

Night all!
