I was too tried to talk at the Saturday event so I just sat close and listened. I will try the event again next Saturday and I will bring some talking energy.

fanfan1....

Come to the coffee...

There are many Chinese that do.

Most of us speak English....Except Captain Cook and Kuldare...who are from Australia and sort of speak English! Shocked

My wife and I just arrived in Shanghai last night. We're both 25, and both American but I'm white and she was adopted from Korea when she was six months old. If you see a couple of lost looking expats at the coffee meeting please feel free to come up and say hello Smile. We're staying at the Summit Shanghai Nanpu Hotel and I'm not sure how far away it is from the meeting but we'll do our best to be there.

Welcome to Shanghai!

Ah, never mind......

No....she was Korean.

And no, Yu does not bring food every time.

Methinks he just got tired of me whining for Breakfast Burritos.

Next?

I think Bloody Mary's would be a good way to start a Saturday!
