Caravanserai (Singapore): Travels, Cultures and Insights

Are you interested in what life is like after COVID in China? We have a special guest, Stephanie, joining us to talk about her life and travels in China. Stephanie grew up in Southeast Asia and now lives and works in a lesser-visited provincial capital in China. We will discuss:

1. What her daily life is like in China.
2. What is more convenient or easy in China compared to Southeast Asia.
3. What she misses from Southeast Asia.
4. How the social life is; is it easy to make new friends and talk to new people? Are there platforms similar to meetups?
5. How travel is post-COVID; how the hostels and guesthouses are.

This meeting will be held via Zoom, and we will have participants from all over Asia.

Have you ever met anyone in your travels who rescued you from a tricky situation? Or a mysterious person who showed you a secret valley? Or someone who made you laugh all the time with funny stories? Or someone who made you want to stay and never come back home.

Join us and share stories of chance encounters and memorable people from your travels.

The meet will be held at Library@Orchard in Singapore. We will open this meet on Zoom too. We will send you the Zoom link via meetup message and email.

Are you thinking of going to China but not sure where to go, what to prepare ? While some may say that traveling in China is not as exciting as in the heady days of the 1990s and early 2000s, it has certainly become more predictable and comfortable. Join us to discuss:
1 What are good places to visit for a first-time visitor to China?
2 How to use digital payments in China?
3 How to book flights, trains, and hotels?
4 Translation apps
5 Where and how to connect with locals in China
For the more adventurous ones, we will tell you where you can find the good old, unpredictable and 'sanook' China.

Some travel to see a new places, some travel to meet new people. But what if you just want to hide away somewhere? Maybe you want to be alone to write that novel, nurse a broken heart, or make a plan to take over the world, or simply do nothing and laze around. Join us and tell us about your secret hiding place.
