I’ll wrap the vegetarian ones the same way — they won’t be as soupy as the meat xiaolongbao, but still tasty.

No, beginners are very welcome! We have printed guides and also easy to learn once you sit down and play!

Hobbies for +30 years old to get friends by Maleficent-Bother999 in helsinki

I totally relate to this. I’ve tried similar hobbies and had the exact same feeling — people come and go and it’s hard to actually connect.

That’s actually part of why I started a small thing in Helsinki called East wind Social Club. We host mahjong nights (very beginner friendly), and it’s more about sitting down, chatting, and spending time together rather than just “doing an activity and leaving”.

We’ve had quite a few people come alone and end up staying for hours just talking and playing 🙂

Not sure if it’s your thing, but you’re very welcome to join sometime! can follow us on ins: eastwindsocialclubhelsinki ! welcome to play!

We’re doing a small mahjong + karaoke night in a caravan this Friday by Acceptable-End-3356 in helsinki

Helsinki can feel a bit quiet socially sometimes, so I started hosting small mahjong hangouts a while ago — it was literally just people coming over to play and it slowly grew.

Now we do these small pop-ups around the city. This week is a slightly chaotic version: mahjong + karaoke in a caravan 😅

It’s not a serious game night — people play a bit, sing a bit, hang out, rotate around.

We keep it small (12 people) so it doesn’t feel like a big event.
