Hi, Phuc!
We will go somewhere some days, but in monthly gathering, Richard wants organize in Highland coffee because he hopes some new people find the coffeeshop easily. Once, we met a guy, who just was in Vietnam for 2 days, and he walked from D3 (near D10) to this coffeeshop to meet us. We had a great day; after gathering we went out, had dinner聽 together, and we had much fun (I drove him around Ben Thanh market about 3-4-5 times because I lost my way !)

Ok, thank for understanding. Richard always tried all his best to make everyone happy. That's why we had a trip to Binh Quoi last Sunday, and we will have a longer trip in Giang Dien end of this month. But still we need a monthly gathering for everyone, especially for new guys.
Good night, girl!

Hi John,

I think you should create new topic, many people will know and share with you about what you need. This topic for gathering only, if someone don't care about this gathering, they won't come here to reply your question.

Yesterday, we had many foreigners and some Vietnamese. We enjoyed the gathering at Highland coffeeshop and then, we had dinner together. Finally, we came to a quiet bar to drink a little beer and listened to music until 9 or 9h30pm.
(Sorry guys, I came to Paula's hotel to get my helmet, when I came back, you guys left already. Who pay money for my drink? I will return money to you in the next time.)

Thanks everyone to join us. Hope you had much fun. Take care always.

Here some our pictures
