    No problem Alex...I pledge that this Toisan group will offer free Ma Jong lessons. JUST KIDDING....I cant play very well either. Though as a kid, when my folks had their ma jong parties at the house, I learned how badly smoking and beer drinking can make your house stink for a week!!

    Man, I don't know how to play! I wasn't allowed to watch because my parents didn't want me to learn and become a gambler. I am so deprived!!! Maybe with this group, I will be allowed to watch and learn.

Who attended?

    • “ It was a good meeting. I had fun. It was great to meet other Toisan enthusiast. ”
    • “ There are many Toishan people living in CHINATOWN, San Gabriel, Alhambra, and Monterey Park. May be you want to hold a meetup in that area to get more Toishanese to join us. ”
    • “ I might be biased, but it turned out the way I had imagined...friendly company, exchange of many business cards, good conversation, lots of laughing, good food, building of good healthy friendships, hilarious Toisanese childhood memories, and some "Show and Tell" of a recent Toisan trip photos. All in all, I was very pleased and encouraged by the good turnout. I want to give a special THANK YOU to Di for bringing 2 guests!! Thank you V and J for joining us!! Thanks to all of you for hanging out, we will definitely see each other again...I Hope!! Mahjong Or Bust will be our new rally cry!!!! ”
    • “ What can I say but "WOW!" If my parents heard me uttered what I said tonight they would have thought I was someone else. I couldn't believe it either - I actually busted out some Toisan/Cantonese. "Heck Faan Ah!!!" ”
    • Diane (+2 guests)
      “ No real complaints... It was pretty good & affordable! It reminds me of Sam Woo for some unknown reason... ”
