This is a thread for the international experience group CULTURE X, which stands for Culture Exchange.
The social group is to relive the social activities foreigners experience in their country, right in Singapore.
As such, 'hobby' stuff like cooking, skating, cycling, photography, all the way to the universal drinking, dining, eating out, are part of the group activities.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Update* The group has now 100+ members*
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
A little about myself...
I returned from the UK in Feb 2010.
I have lived in Sheffield(Near manchester) for 4 years.
Been to Japan a few times, and a couple times to Korea. Travelled much in Europe, some USA, once to Oz, and around south east Asia.. each country's sights and sounds are so refreshing.
Our social group meets/email/language exchange, and are open to all who want to hangout and have some fun in this new place Singapore!
The goal is to bring people together, and explore all that is amusing from each of our views!
Exploring different tourist spots, food spots, etc.
How about... talking about fashion trends? Explore new zest in Singapore, create a new ball game? Underwater golf!?
Email/ MSN / Facebook me at [ cloudiz07 @ hotmail. com ] or just facebook us if you are interested in any of the Asian/Western languages, culture or meeting up with friends.
The group has a pro photographer, and if you are lucky, you might just get featured
Spoken languages: English, Mandarin, Japanese, some Korean ^_^
Feel free to post on facebook for any events to join or make. Thanks for reading.

hi there~ I met up with a few international friends tonight; we went to Ion for food and then did some street shopping, and talked much about the culture of singapore.
Lastly we popped by the Singapore Tourism Centre near Somerset and called it a night.
It was a time to share the love for good cuisine and understand life from each culture.
certainly, if u leave me a pm or email with your interests, social activity and mobile number I'll invite you to the next one. _________________ Come join our social circle "Culture X", http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=118205434884956&ref=mf#wall Our first social for 2010 began on the 19th April 2010.

bump

Those of you interested in being a friend 'ambassador' let me know

well, a fancy way of saying you want to be able to welcome foreign people and have them join your existing social circle ... integrate them so that culture exchange would happen quicker than gradual observation of their own.
sorry i have not made much contact for the past week. I had been showing my Japanese friend around, and juggling some work after a short holiday overseas. _________________ Come join our social circle "Culture X", http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=118205434884956&ref=mf#wall Our first social for 2010 began on the 19th April 2010.

Hi..I'm Malaysian Chinese 28/f and just arrived SG about 2 weeks. Dun have many friends at the moment. Would like to meet more friends.
Do you mind i join the Culture X as well?
I am currently compiling a Members' Sheet, MSN Group, Facebook Group, and contact list as the group is receiving more new members every week.
**Recently, our Japanese friends attended Japanese Association's Cheap Sale Bazaar held on the 8th May, with many things sold for as low as $1 each! And, not surprisingly, the girls bought more stuff. We expect that they share what they bought.....with everyone... **
Current members, if you'd like, text/email/spam your number to me so that I can text / call u directly for our meeting this week. (ok, text pm email -- don't spam me)
Some of you guys I only received your email.
My msn is also the same address. _________________ Come join our social circle "Culture X", http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=118205434884956&ref=mf#wall Our first social for 2010 began on the 19th April 2010. Weekly meets.

Dear friends
This saturday!
We will be meeting(tentative) at about 5.30pm - 6pm at Orchard MRT for a time of meeting and getting to know one another.
After that we can go to one of the nice food spots in singapore for a nice food experience.
I have been doing some infrastructure at this office this week(little time to write emails!),
and I am thinking of making this weekend a simple but fun interaction experience.
For a first introduction to break the ice, may I suggest a small 'memobilia' of sorts to bring for each of you...
* e.g. photo of some place you went; or of yourself;
* a new discovery having been in singapore;
* a torn diary page detailing a hot eventful/close brush-up with the opposite sex(just kidding here);
* a name card made in Africa; your new hair.... possibilities are endless.
For me, I might just bring the lot of my touristic brochures for your perusal!
Hey, I might even sign up for the tour agency... not.
So! At this point, I have about 3-4 of you confirming your attendance. The rest of you have yet to tell me the time you would be free, and also the day.
If you can get back to me quickly, I can inform you peeps today, Friday!.. about tomorrow.
My take on this saturday's meeting: no worries! no pressure! come in your shorts, or your snow boots! I shall be merciful and not demand high street New York fashion from all you free-minded people! but.. just for this week. Next week, I expect stuff from head to toe...
ok.... maybe not. You know... I jest.
On a slightly more focused note, do come casually, in style, in vogue, with your bed-hair, whatever! Your presence, in any form, manner, or design, would certainly add some personality to the group.

hiya
Facebook group is up; feel free to contribute photos for all to enjoy!
This week I will be out of town, so will someone suggest an event for all to join?
I will be going to Taiwan, land of the bubble tea, awesome night food markets, and, in my opinion, the beautiful mandarin accent people in the world!
Last weekend was really fun. Thank you those who showed up and gave the group some personality!
We went to Timbre (http://www.timbre.com.sg/main.asp) for a night of getting to know some of the people in the group really well. There were humorous moments where we learn something unusual about the person sitting next to us, in front of us. All in all, it was great fun.
Please feel free to join / invite anyone to this group.
If there are other events and groups to join, please inform everyone in Culture X! Spread the invitations/word in facebook, or also use the culture x original thread
For those of you with msn/skype, please reply to me your msn / skype address.
I encourage posting in the thread, so that people will know that this group is popular/active thank you! Please feedback in the thread what you think about each and every social!
Hiya Shirley good to have you! I'm currently in Taiwan so I will keep in touch after I'm back early next week and thanks for the introduction! _________________ Come join our social circle "Culture X", http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=118205434884956&ref=mf#wall Our first social for 2010 began on the 19th April 2010.

well, the world cup season is coming!
some of our korean friends will watch football on Saturday, for the match Korea v Greece.
Hmm, at the same time, I thought of making this week low cost and good clean fun at the beach.
The day will be tentatively be on Sunday. I am waiting for the last few bunch of people to rsvp before I decide on the time,
but as it is, probably after noon! the sun is coming.....
BEACHES TO GO: SENTOSA / EAST COAST
(likely sentosa)
Time to let loose, hair in wind, wear ur beach wear, sandals.... MEN IN SHORTS (ok maybe not).... women, do not nose bleed!
I was wondering, can anyone volunteer their home for the football match?
I do not have it subscribed....
Sunday fun at the beach, is everyone interested?
Picnic, frisbee, volleyball...
let me know if Sunday is not a good day....
Oh, please also welcome Priyam and Chris for volunteering to become CX's organisers!~~~
