    There seemed to be a good showing right from the start. Thanks to everyone who came at 10am!! Sorry I had to leave early, but it was nice to meet some new faces! Please leave a comment as to how long you stayed and if you liked the location.

    Super fun and our ever-expanding group of 14 ate lots of delicious, spicy food. I'm a bad organizer though, I completely forgot to take photos because I was busy stuffing my face. Thanks for coming out, everyone, can't wait for a future karaoke extravaganza!

    Great 1st meeting. A big Thank You to our most gracious host, Stephen (& PMK). We came up with some great ideas for the next meet up and hopefully this will turn into a weekly event that will continue to bring people together to speak/learn Mandarin.

  • David Sofer
    A best quality group took on a very difficult challenge and made a very good start, it was also a very enjoyable social gathering, thanks to all of the Chinese speakers for being so nice to me when I conquered my long standing fear of speaking Mandarin aloud.
