Asia Culture Social @ Loong Express

Whether you're from China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand, or anywhere else across Asia — or you're simply curious about Asian culture and looking to meet warm, interesting people — you are genuinely welcome here 🙋
This is a regular weekly gathering for anyone who loves Asian culture, food, languages, and good company. Think of it as your Sunday ritual: a relaxed, welcoming space to slow down, connect, and learn something new.
Each week we explore a different theme from across Asia — history, cuisine, film, language, traditions, travel stories — brought to life through conversation and a little friendly curiosity.

What to expect:
🍱 Bring a snack to share — anything you love, from anywhere across Asia. It's one of the nicest ways to start a conversation.
🗣️ Language exchange — practise Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, or any Asian language in a relaxed, no-pressure setting. Native speakers and total beginners all welcome.
🎲 Board games — unwind with tabletop games, many with an Asian twist.
💬 Free-flowing conversation — mingle, share stories, make friends. No agenda, no performance.
