We are going to Sunset Bar (Intercontinental Hotel). A Dj from Bangkok Bed SupperClub is coming, so should be a good night.The Entrance tickets are 30$ (including 1 drink) though. Anyone interested to join?

The following establishments have events organized for tomorrow night: Hotel Nikko, Melia Hotel, Daewoo Hotel, Sofitel Plaza, Sofitel Metropole, Hilton Hanoi and the Press Club. I'm sure there are other places with something planned for New year's Eve but those are the places I've checked up on.
I've always enjoyed the monthly shindigs in the Press Club so that is where I will be headed tomorrow evening.

I arrived in Hanoi yesterday and I am wondering the same thing - can anyone recommend where to go tomorrow night?

Is there any party somewhere tomorrow night?

Hi Shezza, i think that is good place for our group to meet up and enjoy the X-mas and New year ! :-)
posté il y a environ 3 semaines par Shezza

Sounds nice, but let's do a better job of it than the last time...
One option might be a lunch or dinner at Bia Minh. They're putting on a set menu (you can choose either Viet or Western) for 90,000VND and a Halida special - buy 3 get 1 free (course they're cheap as to begin with). December 20 - 24. The nice roof top would accommodate a large group.

I'll come once I am in Hanoi for sure!

I would like to suggest we can gather and meet up in Christmas eve... or maybe this weekend 21st Dec...
Hope you guys also join in with great ideas !

Hi all,
I am going to be moving to Hanoi on 29th December (a strange time to move, I know). I was just wondering when you guys willl be next meeting after that as it would be good to meet some new people once I get there.
I spend a month in Vietnam when I was travelling 18 months ago but now I will be working there.
Hope to hear from you.
Chris

Enjoy the trip to Tam Coc and Hoa Lu. The Tam Coc boat ride is best taken when the weather is cooler (in summer, you feel like you're being dried in the sun---like laundry but without the benefit of fabric softener). Don't let the touts ruin the experience (be firm!)and remember to tip/ provide refreshments for the person/s rowing your boat.

GUYS,
dont forget tonight is all about you. Jo Jos is ready to feed you some of the best canapes, offer cheap drinks and look after you from 7.30pm until late.
23c Hai ba trung is where it is at, any problems give luke a call. Friends welcome.
See ya at JoJos, 7.30pm

Hi everyone. I'm thinking of going on a day trip to Cuc Phuong National Park and Hoa Lu on Saturday. I haven't booked anything yet, but was wondering if any other Newbies are interested? Location is negotiable - I'm just keen to explore a bit further afield in this lovely weather! Might see you all tomorrow at Jo Jo's

Haha, you're so adorable Shezza. That's not a monkey. That's a lemur. It's a Tarsier, and it's primarily insectivorous. It's not rabid; its eyes are big to enable it so see in the dark better because it's a nocturnal animal. It's small enough to fit on your open palm. :-)
How about mid-December to Halong? Interested in Sapa?
posté il y a environ 2 mois par JoJosAdmin

Reminder guys that the 13th all newbies and not so newbies ar invited to Jo Jos for 40,000vnd spirits and free canapes and cheap house wine. 23c hai ba trung.

Boy, the photo of that rabid monkey is really creepy. Not nice : (
If any Newbies are interested in getting out of town and taking some day/overnight/weekend trips around late Nov - early Dec, let me know.
In particular Halong Bay and Cuc Phuong National Park (Ninh Binh) are on the agenda but any (non-flooded) site of beauty and wonder in Northern Vietnam is on the table. And that concludes the lesson on prepositions of place...

Nice Sunday evening all! (from a newbie to this group..) :D
posté il y a environ 2 mois par Shezza

Amazing! Must be the cosy ambience combined with the crazy weather. How about earlier? Everybody - Mao's is a cheap place to drink and the music is mighty fine. Join us!
posté il y a environ 2 mois par aisute13

Shezza you may not believe but I had Mao's in mind as well :)
If rain stops, then shall we meet at aournd 8:00pm? Pr earlier?
posté il y a environ 2 mois par Zozza

Hello all!
How about this rain!!!
I've literally just arrived and i'm keen to meet some people for drinks/food/fun/adventure without having to wait till the 13th... Anyone want to catch up at Moca or somewhere better?
posté il y a environ 2 mois par Shezza

Mmm, yes. I'm in the mood for Mao's... a solid place to introduce the Newbies to Hanoi's drinking culture. How about we sit upstairs for a bit, maybe followed by some street food later on? Important to celebrate the group turning 30 I think.
posté il y a environ 2 mois par aisute13

Hey there,
What about Saturday? I would suggest meeting for dinner or/and drinks again. Anyone interested? If so, I will think of the place.
posté il y a environ 2 mois par lukeo

Found myself in this group via thecatsaway's film lovers group (hi!). Not really a newbie anymore (6 months in Hanoi now) but would love to join some, if not all, of this group's activities.

My partner and I would both like to meet for this Newbies dinner...will there be reservations and do we need to RSVP or anything??
posté il y a environ 2 mois par Shezza

*** Saturday 6 pm - 7.30 pm Newbies get together at Fusion, 25 Truc Bac. Head up to the second floor.
A range of stuff from the menu is being served - salad, naan, samosa, curry, biryani and kebab. Just throw a bit of dong my way according to your appetite and your means.
I'm not expecting more than 15 - 20 people so if you've got friends coming who aren't in the newbies group, let me know (quickly). Otherwise just show up. ***

Hey,
Are we meeting earlier on Saturday for diner or smth as proposed by SoViet? If so,where and then? I think it would be great to get together earlier since I have not met any of you yet :)

Thanks so much Lukeo (from a total newbie).
Just letting any other fellow newbies know that I've formed a group for film nerds - people who enjoy watching and analysing films. I'm hoping to get some people together for a film + coffee this weekend - The British Council is hosting a week of British films, and it's FREE. Let me know if you'd be interested...

Newbies, just a quick follow up re the Jo Jos newbies party, it is definitely happening, i hopefully have a meeting on thursday to finalise all details. When this is done check the new ahnoian events calander to find time date etc, i will also post it on the thread.
Cyclo pub crawl is also a goer, just waiting on venue confirmations from three other possibilities.

Hey Lukeo you're idea sounds like great fun. I'm in!

hey guyz!!!whatz up? im new in hanoi and alone...been looking for some friends to meet and have fun...
posté il y a environ 3 mois par MissPride

Lukeo, feel free to organize anything you want. I wouldn't be of much help, since I'm not much of a drinker or pub-goer. :)
posté il y a environ 3 mois par lukeo

Newbies i am wanting to organise a cyclo pub crawl, i know it has been done before, but not by us. So i am thinking if i can get the numbers i approach 4 bars which will offer newbie happy hours, we psend an hour in each venue, with a 7pm start and end up some where like the funky buddah or tet bar as the final one for the night and kick on until the boys in green say otherwise.
If anyone is interested or the new hanoian moderators would like to help with this idea please get in contact with me lukeohaggett@gmail.com or 02135783167
cheers and beers

Hello Newbies,
i would like to offer this group and all members of new hanoian a night at jo jos bar, which i manage. I had the 6th of november in mind, which is a thursday. I am offering free canapes for an hour and 40,000 basic spirits for three hours. I dont get the opportunity to get away at nights meaning i miss all chances of meeting up with this group.
i can cater comfortably for 40 people, if anyone is intersted in this you can contact me directly on 01235783167 or lukeohaggett@gmail.com
Cheers

Hey you new things,
I'm looking for 5 other people to make up a team for the Wednesday night quiz at Jafa. Any takers? First in, best dressed.
I see the entry is a little steep but it seems to include food and drink, so just gorge yourself :P

Hey alpha and newbies, I posted that event you're referring to. I'm a bit confused because my page says that there're no events now for the Hanoi Newbies. Where is the event calendar you're checking? As for an update on said event, I think some of us might meet up before the show. Still trying to work out the details on that, but I'll let y'all* know when/if we come up with something. (*I'm from Texas, forgive me)
In case others can't find the event as well, here's a link:

How'd the shindig go last night?
posté il y a environ 3 mois par alpha

In regards to the person who posted the event through this group for the live music at the American Club, we're happy to see that you're taking charge of the group and planning events. However, check the event calendar when it comes to things like that. They are often already posted. Like in this instance.
I've removed the second posting of it, but feel free to indicate your attendance status on the existing event page.
I'll see you all there.

ms. pride, it's a regular thing, every thursday, 5:30 to 9 pm at bacchus corner in Tong Dan st. All we have to do is go there.
posté il y a environ 3 mois par MissPride

Have a ton of fun tonight! Hopefully, I'll make it to the next event. :)
Mackyhernandez, can you give more information on your idea? It sounds interesting, but, as a newbie, I have no idea whether this is a weekly event that you're suggesting we join or if it's something you're suggesting we plan on our own.
posté il y a environ 3 mois par mackyhernandez

why don't we just go to a free wine tasting ang finger food event at Bacchus corner. Look it up in the new hanoian map. it's in Tong Dan.

I love the fact that just about everyone who was in the thread that ended up starting this group has joined the group! :)
Feel free to plan any events you want to try out! Event ideas: hanging out at cafes, testing out new restaurants or introducing tried-and-true favorites, club- or bar-hopping, skating at the park, checking out the sights or the movies, putting together a house dinner or dance party... go wild! :)
