The camping trip has been postponed to 27/28th Dec 2014 . So we have planned a short one day trip to Binh Quoi  this  Sunday 30/11/14 which is a beautiful area which looks like an island with parks and we go for seafood in the afternoon. Details as follow:

                 8 00 am Meet at OUTSIDE Highland  Cafe (opposite Ben Thanh market)
                       Journey takes about 45 min via public bus
                        Seafood lunch   
                 3 00 pm Bus back to HCM

Pay for your own expenses
Bring your bottle of water, cap, umbrella n shades , casual walking shoes.
PM me so I will know who is going. See you

Where is Binh Quoi? I know 2 place with the same name Binh Quoi, one in D2 district, one in Binh Thanh District.
I can go there by motobike, if I can cancel my schedule :D.

It is really a nice quiet place away from the bustling crowds of HCM city. Yet it is close by in Than Da distirct after the Than Da market. The market is so lay back that you will not see seller hustling you do buy things. I believe is just 20 mins from the city the most.

Ok, Richard, we will have more 4 people will join :D. It sound great.
See you guys there.

Thanks Richard for organizing this monthly gathering sooner than it always is. I am sure Paula appreciates what you try to do for her  :par:. This gathering is the last time in this her long trip.

I never thought I would attend the monthly gathering in this 4rum, because some personal reasons. But after Paula came here, I always tried to join with her, hope her have great time when she stays in Vietnam. And I was really happy because I knew many new people, some foreigners, some Vietnamese. We had great time together. Every gathering, we talked - tried to practise English, and then, we hanged out and had dinner together. Every time we had, we enjoyed, we laughed a lot. Even we study "biology" so much, haha :D. Someone said, "Paula changed your life", it's right :D. Because I studied many new things, knew many new streets, restaurants, places in Saigon.

I think Paula will miss all of us too, she had great time here with you guys. And when she is in Finland, she will wish she could come back here sometimes :D.

It's glad to hear you are so happy with us. It seems like Paula changed your life :)).
Actually, I was struggling when I came to the first gathering and met you guys there, but until now I am very happy to meet you guys.

Yeah, great to know that I can make someone happy :D.
BTW, I need some people (like Paula) to make my life more colorful. Hang out so much to know more about people and HCM city. I really hope I never lost my way again  :lol:.
