The Saigon Bar Hopping

How I created The Saigon Bar Hopping

When I arrived in Vietnam I did not know anybody and I would like to discover many cultures, many nationalities with different backgrounds. It was my goal and my first priority.

After one month in Vietnam I met a German named Florian and after few beers we both decided to launch an international networking event.
The concept was easy: extend your social network drinking beers and discovering the city of Ho Chi Minh.

Every Friday, it was in average 25 to 30 people who joined the Saigon Bar Hopping. 2/3 were foreigners and 1/3 were Vietnamese. The concept was to drink 5 local beers in 5 different local pubs that we (Flo and Quentin) have defined before, negociating the prices with the bartenders.

Each Friday it was organized in a different district in order to discover all the areas of this big city.

In only 6 months 200 different persons (tourists and expats) came and enjoyed this event. It was a big success and the beginning of a long success story which is going to be organized by some of the shareolders and friends.
