Thanksgiving Dinner

A Chance to Meet Friends and say "Thanks" for the Good Things We Have

Sunday, November 26: Polo Restaurant, 4 p.m. (Buffet 99rmb; reservations required. Call 134 1878 8861)
In the spirit of the holidays, all of The Laughing Buddha’s friends will gather for a delicious home-style meal and a chance to give thanks for the good things we have received this year.
This is our second annual dinner. Last year we had around 25 people from eight countries joining to give thanks for the good things in our lives. As we did last year,  we are suggesting that everyone “dress up” a little to give the event that special feeling. (Nice dresses for ladies; dressy casual for men, including possibly ties and sweaters or jackets.)

Please let us know by FRIDAY NOVEMBER 24 if you plan to attend.

Directions to Polo

Polo Garden Restaurant is in the World Finance Centre at 4003 Shennan East Road, 5th Floor. See directions (in English) below.

Address in Chinese: "深圳市罗湖区深南路 4003 号,世界金融中心"

Phone (Chinese/English): 2598 0981

BY TRAIN: Take the Metro to Da Ju Yuan Station. Walk toward the Mixc (exit C, follow the signs). Find the Starbucks (across from Taco Bell Grande) on the basement level. Outside, on the Starbucks' patio, there's a waterfall. To the left of the waterfall is a tunnel. Enter the tunnel, and once it bends, GO STRAIGHT. Do not take ANY turns. You will climb the stairs and emerge on Shennan Road walking east. (The Diwang Building should be behind you to the left.) The sidewalk is tree-lined. As you emerge from the trees, you will cross a river. On the far side of the river is a skyscraper; if you look up, you will see a small sign in a window on the side of the building that says "Polo Restaurant."

Enter the building (under the large "Japan Fusion" sign) and go to the left. There is a bank of elevators there. (That's a little tricky; many people enter the wrong elevator and end up in the health club!) Go to the fifth floor, and when you emerge, turn either left or right and follow the sign on the wall at the end of the hall. Cross the small bridge over the decorative pond and you're there!

BY TAXI: If you can print Chinese, print this and give it to the driver: "深圳市罗湖区深南路4003 号,世界金融中心" OR In a pinch, just say "Shennan" and write 4003 on a piece of paper; that would probably do it. OR Call the staff at 2598 0981, and ask them to talk to your driver in Chinese.

From there, follow the "Enter the building" directions above.

BY BUS: Go to Ren Min Qiao bus stop. This is just east of Bao'an Nan Lu on Shennan, and many buses pass there, including the 204. Or, take any bus that you know that stops at Book City, and walk east.

From there, follow the "Enter the building" directions above.
