[Vnbiz] [Upcoming Events - vnbiz gathering in SAIGON

Mon Nov 13 20:31:57 PST 2006

Dear Bros and sis Nhung, Lam, Tu et al,

I don't have any specific venue to add to your list. I think the list
you posted is enough for making choice. However, please take account
of our need to know and talk with each other, and to have some
activities (if any idea comes up), i think we need to choose the place
that is rather cozy, where we can have some F&B. Places like Ngon on
NKKN and Lau De are not appropriate. Since Dong Ho is opted out by bro
Lam and sis Nhung due to its service quality, the remaining are Van
Xuan, Binh Quoi-Thanh Da, Doan, Cay Khe, and A oi cafe (I don't know
the last one). Van Xuan and Binh Quoi are suitable if the no. of
participants is big and Doan and Cay Khe are more appropriate for
smaller groups (I think we need a separate room for us to avoid the
noise from other visitors). Therefore, i suggest he following:
1. Since the time is short now, plaese subscribe your participation
with Hong Nhung and Tu. Based on the no. registered, we will opt out
two options. If the no. is big, Van Xuan/Binh Quoi will be considered
then
2. Let's participants voice up when they subscribe whether they prefer
the center or going a little out the inner city, Van xuan or Binh Quoi
would be the choice.

Dear VNBizers in saigon or happen to be in SG, please send an email to
Hong Nhung at nhuung at gmail.com as soon as possible so that she and
organisation team can choose the place and inform in forum.

In your message, please give the info about your contact (email,
phone), and your preference to go out or just in the inner city
(center) so that organisers can choose the place preferred by the
majority of participants.

Thank you for your support to the organiserz.

Have a great day,
Dieu Anh
