Hi glw, thanks for the feedback.

Yes, it is very healthy to meet new people as well as make new friends. I do hope my wife & daughter will be able to click and mingle with the mummies and kids. I'm thinking that most here are home-makers? I do wish there would be more regular sessions in the future, especially playgroups for the kids to break free from the hotel prison we are in.

Look forward to announcements.

We are meeting for Christmas Eve Lunch at Latina's in Jinqiao. Time: 12.30pm. All are welcome, including family members! It will likely be a small gathering as most expat families have returned home or have gone for their vacations.

We are doing a gift exchange for the kids on that day, so if your child is coming, just bring along a present (around 40rmb).

Do email us at momsinpudong@hotmail.com if you intend to join us. Thanks!

Hi everyone. Our next lunch gathering takes place on 23rd Feb (Thursday) at 12pm.

I've discovered this wonderful child-friendly restaurant at Times Square in Pudong. The restaurant has a small play area for toddlers/ young kids and looks really fun. Here's hoping the food will be good too!

Venue - Buddy Bear Restaurant, 6th floor, Times Square, 500 Zhangyang Lu, Pudong.

Please post, drop me a pm or email momsinpudong@hotmail.com if you are coming. Do bring along your little ones, I'm sure they will enjoy the play area!

Sorry for the late notice. Moms in Pudong meets on Thursday, 20th July at 12.30pm. Venue: Bonomi Cafe, 6 floor, Superbrand Mall, Pudong.

We will be discussing the setting up of playgroups for babies and toddlers who are not yet in school. Also on the agenda is a fund-raising project (probably a bazaar or flea market of sorts ) in September.

All are welcome!

Hi Everyone,

Do you still meet regularly? Can I be on your mailing list so that I can join in the activities when we arrived?

Hi aimecolette, we'll probably have another gathering around mid-August. At the present moment, we meet mainly in Pudong, as most of the moms are residing in this part of Shanghai. We do have some Puxi moms who join us ... we'll try to keep the venue close to the Pudong side of the bund so you won't have to travel too far!

Moony, we're trying to get our website going, (www.momsinpudong.com) At the present moment, the website is still under construction but hopefully will be up within the next two weeks. We'll start a new mailing list then. PM me your email address and I'll definitely include it. We're also starting a babies/ toddlers playgroup in August, you and your baby are welcome to join us when your family moves to Shanghai.

Hi Glw,
Sent you an email yesterday for inclusion into your mailing list. Can you indicate here the details for the babies / toddlers playgroup starting in August? I have a 2 year old who will be starting Pre-K on Monday and a 8 month old, so if convenient, I would like to bring them.

Post subject: Looking for playgroup

Hello, I'm so excited to see this message thread and have checked out the website. This is awesome!

We are relocating to Shanghai in Oct 2007 and will be staying in the PUDONG area. I have 4.5 year old boy and 1.5 year old girl, most likely I will be a stay home mommy. It'd be great to find a playgroup for them.

What is PM?

thanks!
