Im not a divorcee ,but wouldnt mind getting together .
I went to a junk trip last Sunday and met a fellow divorcee, I realize how wonderful to have a chat with someone who's been there and this is how I came up with the idea...
Hi Icebreaker,
That's a great idea! Would love to get together and share, not only the downs but more of the ups! Anyone else?
What I have been doing to move on is to remove any negativity whether it's coming from people or events. I feel it's better we all get together to have a good laugh and share the positive aspects.
I totally agree with Icebreaker! Alan - I don't think there would be any point in moaning as it'll just end up with a group of miserable sods feeling worse than they started!! Should be an informal get-together where we share hopefully all the ups in being single again! Anyone else?
time to get re-started. New friends and new ideas. I'm in...may i?!
Count me in....(Alan Rowe)I am also at number 2 as well.
let's wait til the end of the week, am thinking to have a get-together over a drink sometime next week... somewhere in Central
Hi!!! icebreacker,
it sounds like a great idea, can i joing? I'm divorced as well, not the complanny type.
please keep me posted where and when, cheers
of course, everyone is welcome!

Hi - how many people are in this group and can you provide some details on your get-togethers? I'm going through a divorce right now and would be appreciative talking to people in the same boat. Awfully hard to find any divorce support groups in HK. Thanks.
I absolutely lost track, think all in all we have about 10 people..
HKUSExpat - ur welcome to join, we've all been there, hope your coping fine... will keep you informed of any future gatherings
Agree with HKUSExpat, there are actually no divorce support groups in HK. Pretty ridiculous given the number of divorcees out there! Would also like to join the mailing list. Thx!
Well, lest do the next get together soon...
so everyone can give the own point of view...
when will be the next icebreaker..
guys, next gather together will be either this Friday or next Monday, depends on what majority wants:
time: 7:30pm
venue: Veda's at Arbuthnot road
date: this Friday or next Monday
pls reply your preference and availability.
cheers
Probably can't make Friday so Monday would probably be better.
Hey!!! guys friday is good for me...
Please support our advertisers:
Can't make Friday, Monday is fine tho
i am not divorced but just broke up, so kinda of need some fresh air. is that everybody welcome to the get together??
can't make it friday myself in fact :) but I know the rest of the lot will meet this Friday
Danielle - ur welcome to join, PM me with your email address.
icebreaker: u mean i just post my email here?
Same as Danielle, I just broke up with my bf. Need a new life. Could I join? Cheers.
hi i am sort of separated - would it be alright to join in? cheers.
Curious about Expat Life
I am thinking about taking an Expat assignment in HK. I have a reasonable understanding of most of the key issues, but not sure about another important aspect.
What is the "outside of work" life like for an Expat who:
1. Is divorced, 52, outgoing
2. I have traveled extensively, but never lived abroad.
3. Pretty flexible in findings thinks to enjoy from music, to travel, c*cktails, sports, etc.
Hello guys,

Hello Everyone,
I am sad I only saw this post this evening. May I join you when you next meet up? I am getting divorced. Just got relocated to Hong Kong early this year. Want to share how you manage being a single parent and other staff. By the way, hope this group does not only consists of males. I do not want to be hated just because I may remind your ex-wives. Kindly let me know whether I am qualified to join... Thanks.

Hi,
Hope you all had a great weekend. I missed last week's gathering. How did it go? When would be the next gathering? I would love to meet you all. Take care, Michelle Hong
The weekends coming. Saturday night is tough. Is there anything going on with you guys this weekend? I'd like to join up. You sound like a cool group of real people.
Hi Siena1977, and all I think is a bit rush,
however I propouse drinks at AGAVE LKF, who is up for margaritas send me a PM.
Have nice day :P
Sent you PM doncella. Anyone interested in getting together for Oktoberfest at Marco Polo. Was there last night, was a fun night out.

hi all
i just chance upon this website and read the above.. organising this divorcees get-together... sounds like so so so much fun and informative.. i think i may wanna start one in singapore too..
i was at the oktoberfest last week and it was great fun! we should organise a night out there!
hello all! about my last post - why don't we go to the oktoberfest next week? Friday sound good to everyone? it was pretzels, pork knuckles, sausages, mashed potato, sauerkraut and beer, mixed in with a bit of old songs, and germans singing cantonese songs, and of course, the chicken dance.
so anyone who wants to go next friday (that's the 17th) check your calendars and let me know!
ciao!
I've been meaning to join one of your gatherings for some time. If it goes ahead, please let me know. Friday 17th sounds great!

I'd like to join. What time ? Marco Polo in TST ? As it will be my first time, can I have a name please ?
Hi gys, looks like its doncella, dyansty, bwitched32, ciaothere, mao and myself. oh, a couple of friends have expressed interest and although they are not strictly 'divorcees', i don't think there will be a problem eh? ;-)
so, it's best if someone can get there early and get a table (any volunteers?) as there are no reservations accepted. why don't we pm each other mobile numbers so that we can find each other that night, unless someone has another suggestion. mine is 9183 9547
by the way, i am away on a business trip and wont be back til late wednesday, but will be checking here anyway.
it's going to be great! see you guys next friday!
Hi guys,
since there is no threat anymore to which to go back and post, it would be nice to meet real people to exchange expirences and seek advise!
However, there is one slight problem. I would want to bring along a friend who is bound to a wheelchair. So are the places you go to meet handicap friendly?
All the best and looking forward to read more here as to when and where you're meeting again!
Memo8: this is not the place for idle banter but for "real people" to meet "real people". People who have suffered from relationships! so if you read the post you'd understand that the time is ripe to come out of hiding. No asking for any personal information (btw. disclosure would be against the rules). Just a telling to want to meet in public as there is no threat where urgent advise for a delicate situation can be exchanged.
"the friend in the wheelchair" - that is my wife!
Hi all, I can get there by 7pm, is that early enough??? Look forward to catching up
thanks bwitched32. See you all there then!
Please excuse my ignorance but as I've never been to the Oktoberfest Beer Festival before, will we need to book a table? If so, under what name will it be and for how many? Would appreciate any info! Thx!
great idea will be there and remembering the time in Munich! You guys will be found and Memo8, wanna meet, not the he? Prost!
Please support our advertisers:
Memo8: after arrival or the folowing day. From train station "Stazione Ferroviaria" go straight down "Via Crispi" turn right on second corner. Few meters down the road there is "Gigi Bar" on the opposite side of the road!
Be there 1pm sharp, every day. Sit on the second table and sit facing the window to the street. Do not turn nor look around. Wait for a message passed to you!
Hi Guys - for those going to the oktoberfest tomorrow - let's meet at the lobby of the marco polo say 7 pm? then we can go and try to find a table. have been trying to reserve one but no luck so far. if a couple can go early then maybe you guys can hold a table? (which is what we did the last time) anyway see y'all there! and be ready to do the chicken dance! oh my number is 91839547 ciao
I joined last Friday's gathering at the Beer Festival. The atmosphere was excellent --- not depressing at all :). So nice to meet people just for friendship. For those who have been hesitating in joining the party, do come in next time! You can never have too many friends, as they say.
well said Alan! too bad you missed the beerfest, but i do intend to go to the champagne mixer. should be tons of fun! c'mon all you armchair asiaxpat readers, let's go!
In Taipei on 29 Nov so cannot go for the champagne mixer. Too bad. But I promised that I'll organise a Christmas party for the poor divorcees :). Details to be sent out by stupendous via secret mails. Haha
poor divocess???...haha i dont think we are not poor though. Everyone is living great!
Sure, will show up in the champagne mixer.

We have had almost 700 people try to rsvp and cut things off at 300. Wish we could accomodate everyone but this is after all HK and the venues are limited in size...
We will be hanging from the rafters as it is so there will be strict door policy in place - you must have an rsvp or be with someone who has rsvp'ed on your behalf or the door guards wont let you in.
If you RSVP'ed with say 2 guests you will only be permitted to bring in 2 guests...
We appreciate if everyone adheres to this policy as we want this night to be enjoyable for all and without this strict policy the evening will be ruined for all.
Thanks
RSVP'ed too. sure, meet you guys 8pm at the hotel lobby.
yep i rsvp'd but am not sure if they cut me off or included me. should have done. did it early enough. see you guys at 8!
I rsvp'd but must have been too late as well. Have a great night.
i will be there around 9ish..how can i locate you guys??

don't worry we can do the next get together on the 9th and you can organized
haha
haha is right doncella. i will not be back in hk until the 8th. lo siento pero no tengo el tiempo. tu puedes hacerlo tal vez? hmmmmm
=)
Please support our advertisers:
sorry Alan, cant make it this time. Will be out town for a whole week. Count me in the next meeting up.
stupendous,
bueno tal vez yo lo organizo la proxima vez dime donde te gustaria ir y yo hago los arreglos
(simepre y cuando) te presente porque nunca vienes
sorry guys
you? nunca vengo? aya! siempre yo vengo! =) bueno, no estoy en hk de 14 a 17 de pebrero. tal vez podemos tener lo 09, 12 o 13 de pebrero? hehe
sorry again guys.
I might skip tomorrow as had too much to drink last night and suffered from a hangover almost the whole day today! Don't think I'd want to drink more tomorrow.
Unless there're plans to eat dinner together! We can go to the Thai hole-in-the-wall place in LKF. Ever tried?? It's yum, fresh and hot food!
Thanks anyway Alan, for assuring us that you won't kidnap us!! ;-)
alright, with the new system, who is going to be brave enough to organise the next one? doncella, is that you? =)
I think we've a BBQ tomorrow. But still not confirmed.
But, I'll take the initiative for our next gathering, sometime next week, say 15th Feb. Since we're all single (divorced!!), we'll have a pretty dull evening on 14th, so let's get drunk the next day!
At JJ's -- Grand Hyatt, Wanchai. They're having a great promotion this month as part of their anniversary celebrations. It's buy one, get one after 9pm for all drinks, including the best of wines and even the most expensive of Champagnes!!!! You buy a glass/bottle and you get one free. Plus they've a good band and a decent dance floor!
We meet at 9pm at JJ's on 15th Feb.
Wow, thank you, Ed!!!
Thank you for taking my suggestion to shift this thread back to Relationships forum!

I just arrived, and am in Zeng Cheng. Divorced, so I am alone.
Would like to meet people. As I have been divorced for a long time, i have little thoughts about bitching

Please use english on the forums or posts will be deleted
point taken ed. but, translations are easy enough and there is a large hispanic community in hk - unless there is something obscene pr pffensive - where's the harm in the occasional phrase?
Ed
18 yrs ago
Nope - we have had way to many problems with people posting profanity in various languages in the past... lets stick with english please so that our editors can do their job
ok Ed ..
all understand, no worries next time only english, thanks
I was able to RSVP - Thanks Doncella for the offer. Look forward to seeing you all there
Please support our advertisers:
cool so I will see you tonight bwitched32
8ish...
well bwitched, where were YOU last night??? hmmmmm?
Sorry :( long story had to go back to see the kiddies last night in Sai Kung
this is the text of an email i sent to d and doncella (who never answered me by the way)
i guess it's doncella organising it (next get together) - because if you leave it to me, with
my schedule, it will never get done!
mexican is good - agave, caramba, coyote - take your pick - or we could do
havana - they have a mezzanine with sofas and stuff a small little alcove! or mc sorley's in soho also has a couple of private tables
or why dont we do sunday brunch in disco bay? those new restaurnts are fantastic - i have been to mc sorleys there and hemingways and
its not bad.
or we can do south african bbq at stoepe by the beach in mui wo lantau.
lazy sunday brunch with wine, meat, dessert and more wine - kids can
play on the sand and everything?
let's go!
so doncella - what do you say?
oh, i just realised that our thread has been posted here again! That's great.
Hi All,
Well stupendous, I'm happy to organize the next get together, personally I think AGAVE is the best mexican food in town, please let me know which day of the week is better.
Cheers
anyday except monday and wednesday! oh but next week tuesday is best - i have houseguests from wednesday til saturday

It's so nice that you guys came up with this "support" group for divorcees!! I wish I was living in HKG so that I can join you guys and gals!! At this point in our lives, we do need to meet people in similar situations who will understand what we have gone thru. I'm sure we all have horror stories to tell, but like what one of you mentioned, don't dwell on the past, make the best out of the present!! I know it is not easy, but one must try really hard!! I'm now based in Jakarta and it is so difficult to go thru a separation process. I wish I was in HKG so that I can join you guys!! Well, all the best, and keep the group going!!
Cheers,
April
Hey April,
I hope that you case gets easy soon,
however you can always send me a PM and we can have a chat cheers
talk to you soon
Doncella
Hi Doncella,
Well, I hate to tell you this, but I'm at the worst point in my life and it is such a painful process!! I really appreciate you offering to "chat"!! It sure made my day!! Take care,
Cheers,

April, I've sent you a PM.
Hi Doncella - I've been reading this section for a while, which I find it very interesting, the 'get together'. I am a divorcee 51, just hate been by myself, is there a age limit on this 'get together' group and would there be anyone around my age group?
Thanks for your reply. How do we keep in touch or is it going to be posted in here and we just have to check on it every now and then?
i'm a chinese gal, just divorced, can i join 2?
Hey Guys!!!

Hi Doncella,
Doncella,
I did reply ( see 31 days ago). I did not know how to reply by PM so I did a post a reply instead!! Well, I'm ok but things are still not setted yet. It will take a while!! I'm so glad to see that you guys are still having the get-togethers etc.. Keep up the good work!!
take care,
April
This sounds like fun. I will be in Hong Kong the first week of July and the 21-26th of July. It would be fun to join you....
I'm a newbie and think the group is a great idea! Would love to join the next gathering...
i'd join if there is one like this in Shanghai.
hello hello! i'm back! sorry alan, doncella, but work has been quite stressful as of late. been sent to take care of the countries i cover so, as a result, i was gone for 3 weeks. add to that the 2 weeks i was waylaid because of bronchitis, and that's pretty much most of may and half of june. so, when are we getting together again? alan, what's the number for the junk? the weather has been brilliant lately, and it would be a shame not to take advantage. doncella, perhaps a dinner in the meantime? y'all know my email and mobile so contact me there. ciao!
Hi Stupendous, I have sent you a PM. check it out!

Dear Friends,
Hi amigos...
Has been a long time since we met last, I hope some of you may remember that we had meet for the first time last year around the 13th of July , and I think is time to celebrate some of us have become very good friends etc. Therefore I will like to encourage all of you to get together for the ONE Year Anniversary? Of the Divorcees Get Together.
Will be nice to get together before some of you go away for the summer, so let me know if you want to meet sometime next week, everybody is welcome old members as well as new comers. Hahaha… we can never have enough friends

Place/ idea please feel free to share…
