DC Fun Chinese hosts game nights where we play Mahjong, Chinese Chess, Chinese card games, Weiqi (Go), etc. We also dine out, do outdoor events, go on museum trips, attend Asian club nights, study/practice Chinese language with students in China via Skype internet chat, and come together face-to-face to practice Mandarin.
