09.05.2007 19:30 to 23:30
*The times shown may change, depending on DST settings
City/Town: Zuich
Event Type: Drinks/Bar
Meeting Point: Cana Bar, Niederdorfstrasse 40
Time for a mid-week drink !!

Come and share a drink or four with some new found friends from the forum.


Same place as last time The Cana Bar on Niederdorfstrasse
(http://map.search.ch/zuerich/niederdorfstr.40)
19:30 onwards.

(NOTE: Not to be confused the Casa Bar which is nearby, although no one we know has made that mistake yet !!)

Hope you can all join in the fun again !! (Although I understand that there may be other events or hobbies that keep you from coming - such as cross-dressing, washing your hair, watching some amazing band, extreme ballet, synchronised swimming, patchwork quilting, 52 card pick-up, stamp collecting, etc)

Newbies: feel free to contact me if you want to meet beforehand at the train station.


Ashley

PS: this is just a cut and paste of my last cut and paste, which was just a cut and paste of my last Cana post, for anyone canny enough to notice

Good news.....

The DJ collapsed with exhaustion after the last gig, but is well on the mend now, sitting up in bed and should be able to make it....

Helencho - the key phrase you need to say to find us, is "who wants a beer?".

But be careful of the responses you might get from any creepy drunk Swiss guy and if he asks you where he can find a nice young Swedish guy who speaks English...tell him he's gone to the Casa bar

But how will we be able to distinguish which one is you?

Re: Mid-week Drinks at the Cana Bar
Newbies, I realised it may be somewhat confusing with the sarcastic comments about how to fnd us (I am a big fan of the ol' sarcastic comment, but I concede it doesn't help you find us :>), here is some advice......

just walk in the door and look straight ahead - there are some standing tables (ie with bar stools) and we should be there, along the wall at those tables and as the night progresses, jammed in between the bar too. It's a small bar. Normally the place is a swiss regulars hang out, so if someone is speaking english, chances are they are with us !!

see you all weds (with or without braziliian footy t-shirts)

Re: Mid-week Drinks at the Cana Bar
Mh, I'm tempted but hesitating because I'm not an expat and my conversational English would be below-average, to put it nicely...

Then you should come by to practice! There are several people with other mother tongues than english (like me). I'll try to drop in, if I'm not dead tired from my first spanish course lesson.

Re: Mid-week Drinks at the Cana Bar
Yeah I speak Australian anyway, so english is not my native tongue.

But seriously, unless you can not construct a sentence - I would come and give it a go, as there are plenty of non-natives

Re: Mid-week Drinks at the Cana Bar
Thanks as always to Ashley for organising - these evenings are getting a little bit too successful - you could barely move last night!

A special cheery good morning to those of you who were still going strong when we left the splendid (!) Splendid Bar at 2.30 this morning. . .

Thanks for arranging what I'm sure must have been a great evening. When my memory gets going again along with other parts of my brain, I'm sure I'll remember just how good an evening it was

Re: Mid-week Drinks at the Cana Bar
Cheers to all who turned up. It was good to see some returnees, and many newcomers.

I think the bar was a wee bit full !! But it adds to the atmosphere right !!

Next time we may have to move next door as the other bartender(ess) was getting a bit jealous

see you all next time.............
