### **Beginner to Mahjong?** Mahjong is a **timeless tile-based game** that has been played across Asia for over 300 years and is now gaining global popularity. Unlike poker, where you recognise the cards instantly, **Mahjong requires learning the tiles and rules before you can play**—and that’s where many beginners struggle. We’ve often heard how friends and family don’t always have the patience to teach every detail, and after hours of trying, beginners still **feel confused about the game**. That’s why **Dear Asia Mahjong Workshops** are here to help! ### **Why Learn With Us?** **We’re Professional Teachers** – We understand how people learn best and have designed two **step-by-step workshops** that makes Mahjong easy and engaging.**Mahjong is More Than a Game** – It’s a vital part of Asian social culture, and **Dear Asia London**, as a language and culture school, is passionate about sharing these traditions with you. ### **Ready to Play Guaranteed**! In this **Newbie workshop**, you’ll start playing right away! We’ll introduce you to the tiles, sets, and winning hands while guiding you through the basic rules and game rhythm. By the end of this session, we can guarantee that everyone who comes will learn how to play, and feel confident and ready to play Mahjong with others. ### **What’s Included:** **Mahjong Instructor** – Our experienced instructor will guide you in learning and playing.**Mahjong Worksheets** – Specially designed materials to help players of all levels learn and level up!**Free Tea & Coffee** – Enjoy a warm drink while you play.**Occasional Festive Treats** – Depending on the monthly theme, we might treat you to some special Asian delights! ### **A Social Game in a Social Space** Mahjong isn’t just about strategy—it’s about **bringing people together**. Our workshop offers a fun, welcoming space where you can meet new people, have a great time and maybe even organise future game nights together! We love seeing friendships blossom over Mahjong. Small note that there may be times when we don’t have four players equally per table. In such cases, we’ll combine players across the tables to ensure a full game, with guidance from our instructor of course. ### **Details of the Event** * **Where**: Aldgate Tower just outside of Aldgate East Station Exit 1 * **Who**: New beginners to Mahjong, come alone or come with your friends / family * **What is included**: worksheets, expert guidance, free tea and coffee, unbeatable vibes ### **Important Notes** 1.

**Whether you’re from China, Japan, Korea, 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 our regular Sunday gathering for anyone who enjoys Asian culture, food, languages, games, travel stories, and good company. Think of it as your Sunday ritual: a relaxed, welcoming space to slow down, connect, share a little of your world, and learn something new. Each week has a light cultural focus, but the atmosphere stays easy and social. Some Sundays we explore Chinese names and Hanzi writing; other Sundays we play board games, practise languages, talk about food culture, share travel stories, or introduce tea, festivals, films, music, and everyday customs from across Asia. 🍱 **Bring your own snacks to share** Snacks are not provided by the organiser, but you are warmly encouraged to bring a small snack to share — something from your culture, hometown, or simply something you enjoy. It’s one of the easiest ways to start a conversation. *\*Loong Express also has food and drinks available to buy onsite. Since they kindly host our Sunday socials, we encourage everyone to support the venue by ordering a drink, tea, snack, or meal during the afternoon if you can.* 🗣️ **Language exchange** Practise Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Cantonese, English, or any language you’re learning in a relaxed, no-pressure setting. Native speakers and total beginners are all welcome. 🎲 **Board games & chitchat** Unwind with tabletop games, party games, Mahjong, or simple social games. You don’t need to know the rules before you come. 💬 **Free-flow conversation** Mingle, share stories, ask questions, make friends. No agenda, no performance — just a warm Sunday afternoon with curious people. ✍️ **Occasional cultural activities** Depending on the week, we may also include a light activity such as Chinese names, Hanzi writing, tea culture, travel prep, food stories, or a short culture quiz. **WhatsApp Community** Join our WhatsApp group to chat with members, suggest future activities, and get weekly event updates: [WhatsApp Community link](https://chat.whatsapp.com/KhKITDVOE0A21ytwHMsxfX?s=sh&p=i&ilr=4) **Time & place** 🕒 Every Sunday, 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM 📍 Loong Express 104 Great Portland St London W1W 6PE **A note on RSVP** If your plans change, please cancel your spot in advance so someone else can join. Some weeks include an opening activity, so late arrivals may miss the first part, but you’re still welcome to join when you arrive. **About the Host** Hosted by London Chinese Culture Meetup, supported by [Nihao Serica](http://nihaoserica.com/) — building cultural connections between the UK and Asia. While our meetup is focused on creating a warm local community in London, we’ll occasionally share China culture and travel notes for anyone curious about exploring Chinese cities, food, heritage, and local life. Come join us this Sunday at Loong Express. We’d love to meet you 🌈🥟🀄🍵

​Join us for a relaxed afternoon picnic with delicious food and great conversations! Whether you're a regular or joining us for the first time, everyone's welcome! ​🌳 **Where to Find Us** ​We’ll be gathering in our usual spot, under the Shakespeare Oak at Primrose Hill. ​ **What to Bring** ​To make this a fun communal vibe, we reccomend bringing a snack or drink to share. ​While **any** food is welcome, it would be great to see some Korean or Japanese inspired treats! e.g. Onigiri, Kimbap, Mochi... 🍙🥢 ​If you can bring a picnic blanket, or anything else that might be useful at a picnic, that would be really helpful. Unfortunately BBQ's are not allowed in the park. ​**Who Can Join?** ​Everyone with an interest in Korean & Japanese culture is welcome. ​Our events have a friendly, inclusive atmosphere. There's usually a mix of newcomers and regulars who will make you feel welcome. 🌤 ​**Weather** Fingers crossed for good weather. We can handle a light shower, but if it rains heavily we'll move to a pub nearby. I'll leave a comment here if we decide to move. ​Let’s leave no litter behind, and create some great memories together!

Come along on Sunday 28th June for a guided walk/hike walking the route of one of London's lost rivers - the River Fleet! **About the walk** We will pick up the River Fleet and walk the last 3 miles to where it enters the River Thames. The Fleet is unfortunately completely covered and is now part of sewer system. The walk is part hike/part guided, so on the way I will show you points of interest which would have been on the banks of the River Fleet and tell you more about them. **The River Fleet** The river's name is derived from the Anglo-Saxon *'flēot'* meaning *"tidal inlet"*. Its headwaters are two streams on Hampstead Heath and flows south about 6 miles into the River Thames. Over time, as London grew, the river became increasingly a sewer and when the London sewer system was built by Joseph Bazalgette in the 1860's, the Fleet was covered over and became part of the system. We will walk about 3 miles, so sensible shoes are advised. The terrain is pavements. **Payment** Full Members of the group will be free, everyone else the cost is £7 per person (payable by cash or credit card on the day). **Become a Full Member** To become a Full Member (£14 a year), either: \- Pay cash at an event \- Pay via Bank Transfer \(TSB Bank plc\, Sort code: 77\-66\-65\, Account no: 00030809\, Account name: Cultureseekers) \- Pay via credit card on the day or in advance \([https://pay.sumup.com/b2c/QLAX8AUI](https://pay.sumup.com/b2c/QLAX8AUI)) \- go to PayPal \- [https://www.paypal.com/uk/](https://www.paypal.com/uk/), then click on 'Pay & Get Paid‘, then click on 'Send Money’, put in the email address: [general@cultureseekers.org](mailto:general@cultureseekers.org) in the 'Send Money' box, then 'Next' and then enter the amount to pay.

We’ll begin with a short grounding moment, followed by a brief reading from spiritual or philosophical traditions, and an open reflection circle where participants can share (or simply listen).
