Hey guys,

Finally, I have found out the place for the meeting:  ID Cafe - 61 Tú Xương, 7, Hồ Chí Minh, Vietnam (located in the alleyway (near Cách Mạng Tháng Tám street)). It's quite far away from our house  :huh:

I intend to arrange a time to meet: 4pm this Sunday (29/11/2015). Please help me with your idea?

Hey,

I wouldn't mind going to D1 to hunt for this place. Sounds like an adventure..hahahaha...but do you think it's possible for us to meet at an earlier time? At around 1pm maybe? It's just so we can get back earlier.

GuestPoster3041

By the way, I've just looked up ID cafe online. They have two branches: one in D1 and the other in D3. The address that you gave is in D3. Just want to confirm which one we are meeting at.

Yanzhinguyen

Yup, I gave you guys the address in D3, but thanks Jess, we should move to I-D Coffee in D1 (near Bến Thành) - 34 Thủ Khoa Huân, Bến Thành, D1, Hồ Chí Minh. I have a bike, so that there's no problem with me if we meet at an earlier time. See you guys at 1 p.m at this address.

GuestPoster3041

Hahahaha...no worries...just wanted to check. 1pm is fine with me. See you then!

I'll be at id cafe at 1pm, sorry for the late reply.

So sorry that we have missed meeting some of you guys yesterday. We have selected a new book: Shirley Jackson's "We've Always Lived in the Castle." We will be meeting in two weeks' time and will keep you all posted on the venue closer to the date.  ;)

wynami

I have also been looking for such a club for a while.

Yanzhinguyen

Hope to see you guys next weeks!!!  :D

wynami

Please inform when and where we meet next time. I have always hoped to find a reading club in Saion.

How about for every meeting one of us can talk for 15' about our favorite book ( author, book background, why do we like it, what is our most favorite part of it...). If we do it in turn, we can learn much from various tastes and get some source of inspiration from each other.

Cheers!

Yanzhinguyen

Hi Wynami,

Jess38 will inform the time and place for the next meeting. Just waiting  :D !!! Oh, we will discuss about this book "We've Always Lived in the Castle" of Shirley Jackson's. Please have an eye on it if you have free time.
