### Hi ladies and gentlemen! Looking to REALLY make new friends in Taipei? Whether you're a local, traveler, expat, or international student — our Friday night social is for you.

### This is weekly Taipei expat meetup! a fun, relaxed, and friendly space where real conversations happen.

### If you’ve been searching for a language exchange, a chill party vibe, and a chance to meet new people — you just found it.

😄 Want to see the event photos first and feel the vibe? scroll down below and you can see them!

😊 Want to see more? Follow our instagram: taipei_weekend_social
Got a question? Just ask us — we’re here to help!

中文母語者的朋友：中文活動資訊在最下方～

### 🧡😊 First time here? A short letter for you (before event info):

Have you ever felt it’s still hard to meet real friends—people you actually connect with—

even after joining all those language exchanges and social parties?

The vibe might be great. The crowd might be lively.
But somehow… you still feel a little alone.

I’ve been there too.

I’ve been to a lot of language exchange events that felt a bit awkward, too formal, or too focused on games — and even when the vibe was good, it was hard to really feel included — or parties that were fun, but left you feeling like you didn’t really connect with anyone...

So I set out to build something better. from last year.

It’s a chill, welcoming space —
where you can actually make REAL friends 🧡

Then this year 2025, we created the Most Refreshing Friday Night for Making Real Friends 🌏✨

We try our best to bring together locals and expats—and make sure no one feels left out.

Bars are often packed with boys right? but we love seeing more girls join our bar socials—

so we created Ladies’ Night and girls get a free welcome drink,
and we make sure the vibe stays friendly, chill, and comfortable for everyone.

👋 You’ll also meet our lovely host Enis—an expat who’s explored all the best spots around Taipei.
He’s friendly, funny, and genuinely kind.

Enis and I will be there to help you feel welcome, safe, and have a great time.

So far our events have been growing —and the energy keeps getting better.
So I’ve started inviting travelers passing through Taipei, and expats from nearby cities too.

That means you’ll meet even more interesting people and get a chance to see the world from different perspectives 🌍✨

So come by—nooo excuses (not even the weather 😄)—and let the night surprise you!

See you soon!!

### ❓ Questions & Answers

Q: I'm new in Taipei and don’t know anyone—can I still join?
A: Absolutely! Most people come solo, and we love helping new faces feel at home. The vibe is super friendly, and we’ll introduce you to others right away.
You’ll feel welcome from the moment you walk in 😊

Q: Do I need to speak perfect English (or any language) to join?
A: Nope! This event is for everyone! No pressure at all. Just come as you are 😄

Q: I’m shy or arriving late. Will I be okay?

A: Yes! We’ll help you join the group and start chatting. You won’t be alone — just come say hi to the host 😊

Q: What time should I arrive?

A: We recommend arriving between 8:00–9:00 PM. That’s when most people come and it’s easiest to meet new friends early.

Q: Is there food at the bar?

A: Yes! 🍕The bar serves pizza, finger food, and pasta. You’re welcome to come early and have dinner before the event starts.

Q: How many people usually come to the event?

It really depends—Sometimes less, sometimes more than 30+.
But honestly, the number doesn’t matter.

Even if you only make one new friend, have a great chat, or just try something new for yourself—that alone makes it worth it.

See you soon this week!

### 💬 Why This Event Feels Different ?

Some events just don’t feel right—too crowded, too loud, too focused on games or language drills, too rigidly structured… or simply not your vibe.

I’ve been there.

And this one’s different.

From the moment you walk in, you’ll feel the chill and friendly atmosphere.
Since April 2024, this hasn’t just been a language exchange.

It’s been about real conversations—and real friendships.

Many people came once, made true friends, and kept coming back together.

Some even left Taiwan but still check in on what we’re up to.

That’s why I keep making this event better and more fun—
So when you show up, hope you feel it:

a space for real connection, and real people.

### 活動介紹

嗨！如果你真的想認識聊得來的新朋友——不論是當地人、旅人還是在台外國人——我們週五晚上的交流活動就是為你而設計的。這裡氣氛輕鬆、自在又好玩。如果你一直在找語言交換、輕鬆的派對氛圍、又能交到新朋友的台北夜晚——你找到了！

### 🧡😊 給新朋友的一封小信（活動資訊在後面）：

你是否也曾覺得，
即使參加了好多語言交換和社交派對，
還是很難遇到真正能好好聊天、變成朋友的人？
現場氣氛或許很好，人也很多，
但心裡還是有點孤單？

我懂這種感覺。因為我也曾經這樣。

我也去過很多語言交換活動，有些太尷尬、有些太正式、有些太像在玩遊戲，
就算氛圍不錯，也很難真的有融入的感覺。

也參加過一些派對，當下很嗨很好玩，
但離開時，卻覺得自己沒有和任何人真正建立起連結。

所以，從去年開始，我決定打造一個不一樣的空間。

一個真正能「交到朋友」的地方 🧡
自在、溫暖，不用裝熟、不怕冷場。

到了 2025 年，我們創造了這個活動：
台北最讓人耳目一新的週五夜晚 — 為了真正交朋友而生 🌏✨

我們盡全力把在地人和外國人聚在一起，也確保沒有人被冷落。

你也知道，很多酒吧常常都是男生佔滿對吧？
但我們很歡迎更多女生來參加酒吧社交活動—
所以我們設計了 Ladies’ Night，
女生來的話可以獲得一杯免費迎賓飲品，
而且我們會讓整個氛圍保持輕鬆、友善又讓人感到安心。

👋 你也會遇見我們的可愛主辦人之一 Enis—
一位探索過台北各個有趣角落的外國朋友，
他非常親切、幽默，而且真的很溫暖。

Enis 和我會在現場，陪你一起放鬆、自在，讓你感受到這裡的友善和好玩。

目前我們的活動越來越多人參加，現場的能量也越來越好，
所以我也開始邀請一些來台北旅行的旅人，

還有從其他城市來的 expat 一起加入！
這也代表你會遇見更多有趣的人，聽見來自世界各地不同的故事與觀點 🌍✨

所以，不要找藉口啦（就算下雨也不行 😄），來就對了！讓今晚帶給你一點驚喜！
希望很快見到你！

### 💬 為什麼這個活動不一樣？

有些活動總覺得哪裡怪怪的吧——
太吵、太擠、太拘謹、只玩遊戲，或者氣氛對了，卻還是交不到朋友。
我懂，因為我也參加過這樣的活動。
這次，我想讓它不一樣。
你一走進來，就能感受到輕鬆又友善的氣氛。
從 2024 年 4 月開始，它就不只是語言交換，
而是關於真正的對話——與真正的朋友。

很多人來過一次就交到朋友，
之後他們一起再回來。
有些人離開台灣了，
還會回來看看我們最近在做什麼。
這就是我一直想把這個活動越辦越好的原因——

只希望當你來到現場，也能感受到這一點：
一個有溫度、有連結的地方，為真實的友誼而存在。
