Some pirctures of BBQ party on 25/01/2015
Great!
See you soon!
I am a new member. Can I join the group
Please come and join us. It will be fun and you get to network with many new friends from all over. All are welcome local and expats. We will go to dinner together so if you are free ,do join us too. Hope to see you all soon. Happy Lunar New Year.
I doubt I can make it because of the combination on work commitments and distance, I will see what arrangements I can make because I would like to show up.
However, attend or not, I'd like to thank the originator for making the venue a Highlands, which has great coffee and cake, instead of a bar. That rocks.
I'm vietnamese i never expat can i join
We encourage any local to join as we need help and advices too. Now we have a group of regular local friends who joined our gathering and activities regularly. So come and join us this Sunday. See you all
Unfortunately I will not be able to join you all at your gathering. I regret this very much.
However I would like to say something:
Today I deleted all of the people who had requested to be in contact with me on this website.
Why?
Well, at the time of the New Year I sent New Years greetings to all those who had requested to be on my contact list.
Not one person responded.
So I have now deleted all of them.
I'd like to meet in person with real people, but maybe next time.
But in future, please don't ask to be a contact/friend if you do not intend to communicate.
Chuc Mun Nam Moi!

Matt. I think that: on social network, you sent New Years greetings to person who you know and talk with they, don't sent to all people. They don't know who are you, so they don't care about your greeting. But if you talk with me, I welcome and I very happy
I'm very eager for the meeting- up before the lunar new year. See you all guys then!
It is so great!
I would like to join this.

Hi Kenjee,
I am sure we will all have a great time. We will definitely post some photos for all to see here. Hope to see you all soon.
Thank you all for coming. We all had a great time chatting and getting to know each other. There were 32 attendees from 8 different countries. We also discussed about a short trip soon. We continue our gathering with dinner together and some of us decided to go for karaoke to sing our hearts out. I had a good time and hope we would see each other again. Chúc Mừng Năm Mới to all who celebrate Tet and happy holidays. Take care and cheers to our new friendship.

Correction there was just movement to rhythm....no dancing in karaoke,,,,just plain singing. Yes...we all had a good time as we need to relax at some time. We tried to get everyone sing and enjoy themselves. Hope we can do it again. Happy Tet holidays to all
