The Pan-Asian (South/West/East/SE/CE) Culture Group of OC

This group is for having events and meetups pertaining to various cultures from South Asia (e.g. India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal), West Asia (e.g. Turkey, Egypt, Lebanon, Yemen) Central Asia (Kazakhstan) East Asia (e.g. China, Korea, Japan) and South East Asia (e.g. Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia). Cultural exchange, vibes, community and friends will be had! For anyone with a love for culture, this group is for you!

As an extension of the Indian & South Asian Culture Group, we do seek to expose as many different Asian cultures to others and make it as inclusive as possible. Imagine having a gathering at an authentic Laotian restaurant while learning Hindi! The possibilities for any sort of events are endless, as long as you have an open mind!

# Community Safety & Respect Guidelines
