Check my recent posts or take a look here: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=143077087957 Club schedule: Every Saturday + Court 7: 10am-1pm + Court 8: 11am-1pm 43/4 Thanh Thai, Ward 14, District 10 Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Visiting in November I've just seen your post in Badminton Central and have seen the FB link. Can you let me know if the venue and times are the same? I'm staying in district 1 from Nov 11 - Nov 23. I'll check this message area again tomorrow. Regards
Almost the same! The correct address is "43/3 Thanh Thai street". But the map website can not view "43/3", just "43" only. Once you arrive in Vietnam, please let me know, then I would give you more support.
sneakers Ooo, One other thing. I'd like to pick up a pair of Yonex court sneakers. Where would be a good shop? REgards
Hey, I'm in HCM now. Is it possible to meet before the venue? I'm almost certain I can't find it with the address provided. Also do you have the address of the shop Dai Hung? I'd like to look at the badminton rackets. Regards
How about playing this Sat morning? Dai Hung shop: on Le Quy Don street (near to the corner of Le Quy Don street and Nguyen Thi Minh Khai street). Check the attachment.
No need. If you play with us, 30K VND/section! (cheap huh?). We use Vietnamese standard bird (brand Hai Yen), you can bring your own if you like!
This is a top question! What is your address here? How do you intend to get the court? Taxi? Motor? Can you drive motorcycle? Let me know your options, then we can figure out how we meet! BTW, I attached here this map of the court which you may need.
I'm staying at the Norfolk Hotel. I'll use taxi I think as I'm not brave enough for the motorcycle method. Perhaps I can meet you somewhere close by the venue. I don't want you to go out of your way. Regardless i'll have look at your map and the one back at the hotel and see if I can match the two. I have to leave internet now and will be back on line tomorrow. Thanks for your help so far. Cheers
Do you have a Vietnamese mobile phone? Mine: 090.33.79.222. Call me if you need help! In case you will be using taxi, then just write down and tell the taxi driver the address. Then he will take care the rest! Or I can drop by your hotel, around 9:30am, how do you think? But there are some Norfolk hotels in HCM, let me know your exact address. Then we will meet there...
Hieupt, With the aid of your map and mine I think I can find the place, i doesn't seem too hard (famous last words). What time Saturday should I arrive? Regards
I have your number now, thanks. You'll probably recognize me when I arrive, I'll be the old guy looking lost. Cheers
You should arrive around 10am to enjoy the full section! I'll manage to come around this! 10am: Court 7; from 11am: court 7 & 8. Cya there! Just give me a ring if you need any further help (probably to deal with the taxi driver)!
