请在dayofus.com注册。用餐时的语言为汉语。
**Please make your reservation on [dayofus.com.](http://dayofus.com./) This is a paid event. Booking fee is RMB69. Language spoken at the dinner is Chinese.**
DayOfUs brings strangers together for unforgettable dinners. Every week, we curate group dining experiences at great local restaurants — you + five new faces. No awkward planning, no group chats that go nowhere — just good food, good vibes, and conversations that matter.
### **Here’s how it works:**
1. **Take our quick quiz** in the DayOfUs app to share your preferences.
2. **We match you** with a group of like-minded people.
3. **We book the restaurant** — you simply show up and enjoy.
4. **You leave with new friends** (and maybe a new favorite restaurant).
✨ **Not a dating app** – we’re all about human connection and building friendships.
### **Why Join Us?**
* **Effortless** – We handle all the planning.
* **Fresh every week** – New people, new restaurants.
* **Personality-based matching** – Not just random pairings.

Private Chinese Lessons for Daily Life, Travel & Business
Please add my Wechat : **luckyluckyyuxin**
The Meetup App does not work well on my phone.
Hi everyone! My name is Gao Na.
I studied Business English during my undergraduate years, spent one year in New York City in an English language program, and later completed a Master’s degree in Italy. Living and studying abroad has given me a strong interest in cross-cultural communication and helping people feel confident using language in real-life situations.
Shanghai is an international city where visitors can usually manage with English, but without some basic Chinese it is easy to miss many everyday experiences and local connections. My goal is to help foreigners communicate more comfortably — whether for daily life, travel, or business.
I work as an independent language tutor and offer **paid, personalized lessons and language support**. This is not a language exchange; sessions are professional and tailored to your needs. In addition to English tutoring, I can also assist as a sightseeing companion or interpreter for business trips, and help you set up and use essential local apps so you can navigate life in China more easily.
If you are interested, feel free to contact me and we can meet for a coffee to discuss your goals and arrange lessons that suit your schedule.
Add **luckyluckyyuxin** as your WeChat contact.

Discover Chinese Tea Culture – Join Me for a Tea Farm Tour
👉 **To join:** Please add Daisy on WeChat at **daisy00233**
**We conduct all discussions over WeChat only.**
Hello, my name is Daisy Wen. I studied English Literature as an undergraduate and later completed an LLB with the University of London.
Beyond academics, I have a long-standing fascination with Chinese tea culture. In China, tea is far more than a beverage. It is deeply woven into history, daily life, etiquette, art, and philosophy. Even the Japanese tea ceremony traces its roots back to tea traditions of the Tang Dynasty.
I am beginning to organize small, relaxed visits to tea farms for those who are genuinely curious about tea — how it is grown, harvested, processed, and appreciated.
If you enjoy meaningful cultural experiences and good conversation over a proper cup of tea, I am forming a WeChat group for like-minded friends.
Let us meet for a cuppa and see where the journey takes us.
