Chinese study group in Beijing

[valikor]

Why don't we do 6pm? Maybe he can join, and it's slightly more convenient for me now that I think about it.

[phyrex]

Sure, no problem. Tomorrow, starbucks, 6pm.

Sorry- I'm new here so my posts are subject to moderation and don't show up until approved. Apologies for the delay...

Should no longer be the case.

Well I'd love to meet you guys too, unfortunately I took the wrong plane (when changing planes recently, at the gate the next plane after mine was bound for Beijing )

[phyrex]

Ouch, that sucks. Next time, then. As I said, I'm sitting at home anyway, and I really like Starbucks coffee ;)

[Starcaller]

is there gonna be a meeting anytime soon? lol.

[phyrex]

Take your destiny in your own hands! Why don't you just say "Then and then is good for me, who else has time?"?

[valikor]

Right now would work for me. I'm actually already at the established meeting location

[phyrex]

give me an hour and i'll drop by

[Starcaller]

LOL right now? may i ask where u r? hahaha.

too bad i already got an appointment today XD

Friday afternoon or evening should b nice. Or maybe Saturday.

[phyrex]

Works for me, starcaller. Location is Starbucks at wudaokou, unless something else is specified. What time?

[Starcaller]

Friday I can go there around 3pm-4pm

on Saturday, somewhere between 12pm-4pm should do. =)

[Chris333]

If you folks get together around 2:30 or 3:00 Saturday I might be able to swing by and say hello. That's when my daughter takes a nap so it's conceivable my wife can watch her while I get out for an hour. Don't plan around this if Friday works better for you. I haven't checked with the boss (wife) yet.

[phyrex]

How about Saturday 2pm? And then we'll wait for Chris? Would that work for everybody?

[Starcaller]

Checked my time schedule. Saturday 2pm would b great.

will see u guys there

[phyrex]

Great! So at least from 2-3, so we can see Chris, and from then on open end! ;D

[Starcaller]

Can i ask a stupid question?

Where is Starbucks in Wudaokou area? and what kinda transportation i should take there? XD

[phyrex]

hehe

The starbucks is right opposite the Lotus center, maybe you know that one.

You just take #13 to wudaokou and walk down the street, with the back to the U-Center (which you can see from the station). You just keep walking until you get to a major (!) intersection, should take you maybe 5 minutes. If you're at the intersection, you should see the lotus center on your right. Cross the intersection and you'll see the starbucks on the opposite side from the Lotus center.

[Starcaller]

hahaha i c. thanks a lot Phyrex!

[Chris333]

Got the go-ahead from the boss, should be there between 2 & 3 Saturday. I'm looking forward to meeting a few of you. Should I bring my dictionary or will this be a mostly English thing? -or should I just expect to nod and pretend I understand what you're all saying?

[phyrex]

Haha, your wife isn't from Shanghai, by any chance? ;) Nah.. just joking, I'm feeling with you ;)

I'd vastly prefer English speaking. But if you want to bring your dictionary to show us some of your favorite characters (I love 屡 ) then go ahead ;)

See you then!
