We do have nice meet-up last night :) at the beginning , it's quite crazy cos we made appointment while we didn't know our face or phone number to recognize each others :lol: however, after waiting, up and down, we can find out the group :roll eyes: then we started to enjoy.... enjoy the food, have fun with the way we move to carmen bar (let B. share her experience for that :P), great time with the band, especially the romantic French song for F. :lol: .... OMG, let's others share their own feeling... I am thinking for next meet-up plan now :cool:

GuestPoster482

We should make another plan. How about tomorrow night. Saturday nite is great for weekend relaxing

rojamin

@ trang 126: you didn't miss anything, I wasn't there LOL kidding

@ CindyLuu: How about watching 'horror Kịch' at Starbow in Tan Binh District? One of my cousins said it's like Saigon speciality, there're ppl who just fly to Saigon to watch this Horror Theater show and then fly back to Hanoi within a day.
Then we could try Viet Mac subsequently :D I heard about Viet Mac long ago but have never tasted that delicious Rice Burger Viet cuisine style :D  My cousins are with me hehe
