That was no excuse I was stuck at Madam Zung's too and had to walk home through knee high water and I still made it to the Coffee Bean.

Anyway I thought it was pretty good set up and most people could find a seat. Better than trying to fight and muscle out other people at Starbucks on Saturday afternoons. Nice talking to you all.

A nice start to a new tradition! SUNDAY Coffee Brunch! The location is nice though we will try and get even more space next week, or take over the smoing room and make it the non-smoking area exclusively for us Anyhow, great meeting you all there and look forward to continuing our coffee meeting tradition!

seems all positive feedback - good start good workout

I'm pretty new at Shanghai Expat. Haven't been in any get together either. May I join you to the next coffee meeting?

It was nice to meet people on Sunday! Having only just arrived in Shanghai with the Typhoon nipping at my heels, i was so happy not to just be stuck in my bare apartment watching the rain!

can anyone give me the exact address of the sunday coffee meeting? it's a bit hard to tell them to just go to xin tian di and find the coffee bean place... I for one, don't know where it is hehehe
thanks for the help.

mantis: The info for the Saturday 4pm one is here http://www.shanghaiexpat.com/MDForum-vi ... 7599.phtml

hiya, newbie here. would like to join for the coffee meeting, so there's 2 coffee meeting here?

not sure which one should i go...btw, nice to see u guys here

CB's ice-blended drinks are better taste than SB, fyi, CB is used to be much popular in Singapore/Malaysia than SB.

There are two. Sunday.( Today!) is the main Shanghaiexpat Coffee Meeting. Starts at 12 noon at Xintiandi Coffee Bean. We had a good group last week inspite of the typhoon. In this thread, its about the Xintiandi one.


The Young Expats Coffee is Saturday at 4 at SB on HuaiHai. Its in this thread

Hey Jenny Zhong, see you on Sunday:)

too bad.. i missed this gathering.. From the photo gallery, it look so much fun.

Lemongrass, how do nathelie look like??

Actually she looks exactly like her avator last time.

Were you there Conniechong? I was looking for you (even though I have no idea what you look like!). Thought I would say hello to a fellow Malaysian. I was there with the hubby around 1.30 pm.

Hi, Pariso. Did we meet before? I know one pretty girl named Paris, is it you?
If not, I am also glad to meet u on Sunday. I like to make friends.

i wanted to be there , but i found no companion. if i go there alone it will be so bored, without any talking partner

Hi Crimper, my fellow Malaysian. I wasn't there, but had gone for the first meeting at Xintiandi. Well, we can arrange to meet somehow. What about this coming coffee meeting?

This is one of the reasons you go there. First time I went there I was alone and started making lots of new friends. Don't be shy. there are plenty of other people in the same situation. Just say hello and introduce yourself and you'll be set!

Hey.. do you introduce yourself by your nick or real name??

Real name is probably better since you are meeting for real. Its up to you though
I guess some people use their real names or personal nicknames as their tag on the forums.

Only strangers and my really, really close mates call me Kuldaen face to face.
