AsiaXPAT Champagne Mixer August '06

Something really didn't really gel about this evening. Just based on this one event I'd rate it as a WRB -- Wouldn't Rush Back.

When:	Thu, Aug 3, 8:00pm
Where:	Jade on 36, 36F Pudong Shangri-la Hotel
Cost:	Free
Organised by:	AsiaXPAT

Starting this month (and ending when I get some time to really write proper reviews) I'm going to be doing "microreviews" -- basically notes on each event covering the pros and cons.

If anyone wants to write any reviews that are more in-depth, get in touch!

Pros:

Free
Good view
Nice selection of drinks

Cons:

Loud music made communication difficult
Few people interested in networking
Not enough canapes
Far too crowded -- people could barely move, especially in the corridors
Bar understaffed and service glacially slow -- it took about ten minutes just to get a glass for my beer

To be fair, a lot it wasn't AsiaXPAT's fault -- apparently bar management issues were mostly to blame.
