Walk, Chat and Explore: ChinaTown to Little India

Happy New Year 2026!

Our first event for the new year will be a exploratory walk from Chinatown to Little India to take in some historical sights, and maybe discover something new.

As a public holiday the city centre will be quieter, with less traffic, making the walk more pleasurable (hopefully:).

At the same time its an opportunity to meet new people and chat about Life, the Universe and Everything, your new year resolutions, or just walk in silence as you wish :)

Of course, we will end with a meal, and more chatting, for those who are hungry in body and mind.
