Not to beat a dead horse, but anyone planning on going today? No messages on this topic since late November, so I just wanted to check.

Must have missed ya, I got there about 1230, asked some Americans if they were there for it but none of them knew what I was talking about. Left about 130. If you were there, I was the blond guy staring at the map trying to figure out where he was.

After asking if people were there for this event, the only other people I talked to were a couple girls asking if they knew where I could buy a plug adapter. We were looking at a map though, so maybe it was me!

Is there a specific place where people meet here? At the one on Saturday, it was the glassed in room at the back.

Yeah I had a guy from work grab me one. I should be ok for tomorrow, certainly don't have any plans yet. Were you one of the girls? I should be there a little after noon time. Maybe I'll wear a shirt saying "Totally Clueless..."

Hey the turnout for this looks pretty sad. I was planning on going tomorrow.. Will it be just Buck, Strewth and me? No electrical device conversation is good, but I can't do football conversations either....

1 person or 20, I ain't got squat to do besides make up excuses not to go all the way out to Bubba's to watch football, so I'll be there. Last time I was there it was rainy, tomorrow is supposed to be nice, so maybe I'll be more inclined to walk around after not meeting anyone! Either that, or it's football and beer for me.

I will be there by about 1:30, no later than 2 and am meeting another person that tends to be a regular. Last week almost no one at Saturday event but today it was pretty packed. Had at least 20 so Sunday should be a little more populated this week.

Hey, guys, I'm Ying Ying, a journalist from an English Newspaper, I would like to join you for this weekend's brunch with my Belgium friend Davina (well, I'm still convincing her to go). You wouldn't mind the show up of a Chinese girl, right? And it would be a pleasue if I could offer you any valuable information about living in this huge city.

Cheers,
Ying Square

You're welcome to come, but lets leave the business cards home.

Its on every week whether two or twenty show up. Looks for the big shanghaiexpat banner in the role screen.

Going to Hangzhou for the day and won't be able to make it tomorrow, but there will be some folks. Most people show up after 1.

Post subject: Sunday 25th: Coffee bean and Tea Leaf

Hello Michael,

Nice to meet you. Very Happy

I'm new here in Shanghai. Just arrived two weeks ago.

Would love to join you, and meet some other expats.

I will try to come this Sunday to Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf.

Is there any number I can call in case I don't find you?

Thanks!

See you soon.

Camille

Hi All
Last week we were consumed in CNY family activities, but even though it is technically a work day, I will be there today. Hope to see you there today.
