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. *** 🕒 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 on the waitlist can join. Late arrivals may miss the opening activity. *** *Hosted by [Nihao Serica](http://NihaoSerica.com) — building cultural connections between the UK and Asia. Each week we'll also share a brief update on our upcoming China travel socials, for anyone curious about exploring Chinese cities, food, heritage, and local life.*

Join a friendly, outdoor meetup for people who love the Korean language and culture Doesn’t matter if you’re a complete beginner, or already conversational. The meetup is a relaxed space to practice speaking Korean, meeting new people in rotated groups, and enjoying fun language activities together. There will also be an optional after-party for attendees (a nearby pub, café, restaurant etc.) Instagram/Tiktok: KStudyBang

### 📅 EVENT DETAILS 📍 **Where:** Aldgate Tower (just outside Aldgate East Station, Exit 1) 🙋 **Who:** Players who already know how to play with scores (not suitable for beginners) ☕ **Included:** Instructor help, free tea, coffee, and unbeatable vibes ## 🀄 WANT TO PLAY MAHJONG REGULARLY? Mahjong is still a niche board game in London — and since it needs **4 players**, it can be hard to organise regular games with just your own friends or family. In many parts of Asia, **Mahjong parlours** bring people together to play. While we’re **not** running a commercial Mahjong club, we *are* here to build a **community**. Many of our players started as complete beginners in our workshops — and now they’re **hooked**! That’s why we created our **🎟️ Just Play tickets**. ### 🌏 DIFFERENT MAHJONG STYLES WELCOME ### 🇭🇰 Hong Kong Style (Main Style) Our main style is **Hong Kong Mahjong**, with a **3 fan minimum to win**.If you know how to play other Chinese styles like **Taiwanese**, **Sichuan**, or **British Mahjong**, you’re still welcome! We’ll provide **scoring cards** to help you adapt. ⚠️ However, these tables are **not suitable for beginners**. If you haven’t yet graduated from Level 1 or Level 2 of our workshops, or if you don’t know how to score, please join our learner workshops first to build confidence. ### 🇯🇵 Japanese Riichi (Growing Community) Riichi Mahjong is **new to our community**, but we love its fast pace and strategic complexity!If you already know how to play Riichi — \*\*amazing! Please join us.\*\*If you play Chinese Mahjong and want to try Riichi, one of our instructors or friendly regulars might help, but we **can’t guarantee full teaching support yet**. You're welcome to learn by playing alongside others. ### 🇺🇸 American Mahjong (New Community in 2026) We’re excited to add **American Mahjong** to our offerings. It’s quite different from Chinese Mahjong, so we’ll run newbie workshops and regular Just Play sessions from 2026. **Note**: Just Play bookings require solid prior knowledge of American rules. However, we encourage cross‑style learning, so if you already know one style of Mahjong, learn another with us, so you can play at any table. ## 💷 OUR BEST PRICE PROMISE We’re doing our best to keep **Just Play tickets affordable** for a 2-hour session — that’s our **best price promise**. 🙌 Unlike clubs that charge entry or venues that require a minimum spend, our ticket price covers only what’s needed: venue, staff, admin cost. And yes — with a booked ticket, **YOU ARE GUARNATEED A SEAT AT THE TABLE**, and we also provide **free tea, coffee**, and the occasional **festive treat**. ☕🍪 We're not a charity, but we are **deeply committed** to creating a welcoming Mahjong community. 💛 Your support helps us keep the tiles clicking, and we love seeing familiar faces return week after week! ## 📱 JOIN OUR MAHJONG WHATSAPP COMMUNITY Stay connected with fellow players in our friendly WhatsApp group — a space to ask questions, get updates on upcoming events, and even arrange private games outside of our Saturday sessions. It's the easiest way to stay in the loop and grow your Mahjong circle! [LINK HERE](https://chat.whatsapp.com/IQXv3nGfbeMCfvI6HsGjfZ "https://chat.whatsapp.com/IQXv3nGfbeMCfvI6HsGjfZ") **Important Notes** 1. Each attendee must be registered to our building in addition to the meetup ticketing. If you book two tickets, we will need both individuals’ full names and email addresses for registration. 2. On **the same week**, you will receive an email from "Aldgate Tower" with your **building entry invitation**. This email includes a **unique visitor QR code**, which you’ll need to scan at the ground floor speed gates. Then, head straight up to the **6th floor**, where we’ll be ready to welcome you. 3. Please check your **spam or junk folder** if you don’t see the email. Still nothing? Send us a message / whatsapp us on +44 7423 755734 , and we’ll assist you promptly.

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy. In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected. The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia
