Question for everyone here who lives in or near London:

I'm going to be living in London (stuck there for work -- would rather be in Tokyo or New York) starting next fall and would like to know where all the East Asian people live / hang out. I'm Chinese-American and want to meet Chinese / Japanese / Korean / Vietnamese / Singaporean / Malaysian / etc. girls there. From what I've seen, "asian" usually means South Asian rather than East Asian when in London. So I've heard East London is a spot for Asians but I'm guessing that means Indian / Pakistani. It seems kind of hard to find East Asian people unless you go to Chinatown. At least that's what I found when I was there this past summer.

Also, any club recommendations? besides Thai Square.

thanks for your help

Found something for you

Guide to ethnic communities in London

lol Thai Sq. Trafalgar Sq....it just lacks the Thai people atm....

Thankgod for their Putney Branch!

I believe there are a few pockets of resistance.... err i mean chinese/korean/japanese dotted across london.. but these are only know to the insiders.

So it is as i feared... not many east asians to be found. ok thanks for the info.

Everyone knows about New Malden

However there are British Chinese meetings and parties you can attend, which you can meet loadsa Chinese people.

right guys and girls, am heading down to london from 3rd november - 5th november, friday night, il be at a club called Thai Square, so if ur goin look out, or if u wanna meet up before or anything pm init


should be funnn

^I think Charlee goes there.

thai square, not thai land wor? thought shes at luton anyways ~_~

^ She frequents London a lot for family/university.

The woman who co-owns Thai Square used to babysit me...

She was my mum's second chef once upon a time.

The lady married rich !

Thai Sq. was just for Thais before the minors and other Asians invaded... >.<

Haven't been there in a while.

Most Thais hit the other Square branches now and leave Thai Square - Trafalgar Square to others!

charlee, then u can getme in for free?

yay, i think you should go!

Errr no, it don't work like that.

awww, i wanted you to go anyways

it would be verli fun

nope actually there was this really fit girl, bt i didnt have the balls to talk to her, not to sound big headed or anything, i saw her staring a couple of times




no

How long has there been a Thai community in london then?

40-50 years or so.



You can have plenty of fun with the underage Chinese girls there instead.

Next time just go for it, don't think about it. If you think about it you'll talk yourself out of it.

Which part of London has the largest Thai community? Or Are they just spread all over the place?

All over the flippin' place! They get everywhere now!

I've seen a few Thai people round my small town, for some reason they're mostly women.

yea, easier to be said tha done they jst run away

What a waste of a Halloween.

it was halloween last night?? wow first time I have been out for it in ages.

What's the topic, Thai Square? Thai Square is a load of $hit!!! I went there once a few months ago and I'll never go again. I've never known such prudish boys - they all just stand there like a pack of flies, or they're sitting down playing rock, paper, scissors the whole night, who does that in a club? Plus, it's really small, and all the oriental people stay in packs and don't mix with each other, or even talk to one another. Total waste of a night.

You just aren't civilized so advanced versions of group dynamics are hard for you. Banana on the dancefloor.

w00t! Clubbing at the weekend.

long live guinness, kilkenny, jamesons, shillelaghs, fights, and Celtic FC lol, yeah that's right, you guys have a Japanese guy now lol

O_o

Jaimu doesn't go to clubs.

What club Jaybums? I might see you there.!

well am going thai sq this friday!! and yea, anyone wana go?

I do all the time.



You're in the North-East?

There is only one club in the whole of the UK remember jams.

Well what did you do when she smiled at you? You should've smiled at her and see how she reacts. If she smiles back then that means she 'could' be interested in you, in that case go up to her and talk to her.

Good luck in Thai Square.

It's chilly willy...

I hate it when it gets dark early...

So to get this straight, the UK doesn't have a race problem...at all?

what do you mean exactly? that people of the UK are not racist? or that we don't have a problem with loads of immigrants settling here? or anything else?

Segregation and discrimination.

There are problems, mainly because most of the working class are dimwits who shouldn't be allowed to speak let alone vote but anyway when it comes to professions there are some blatant issues.

You're such a tit, it's unbelievable sometimes.

I'm a snob, what do you expect?
Edit (before you start whinging again): It's not my fault a lot of the working class read the Daily Mail
Middle class my @$$.

lol...because reading The Times makes you that much more better....

I didn't say it did.
Doesn't mean I don't think the Daily Mail is $hite though
Anyway we've had this discussion already.

What?



What a $hit argument you have for everything.

I'm not making an argument, you're randomly telling me something that you seem to think I don't already know so its hardly surprising that I had a look on my face when you said that. Maybe they read it for $hits and giggles, who gives a crap.

Ah, okay.

And there are no stereotypes, preconceptions, or any sort of invisible job discrimination then?

There are but it really depends on your location as to how far they go.
Stereotypes of asians and blacks are.......eh.........not too prevalent or at least most people are aware that the stereotypes are untrue or at least that is my experience anyway. I do know a black guy that thought I was going to be racist to him because I'm half korean......which was very wtf. For more recent immigrants e.g. Kosovans there seems to be at the very least a certain amount of general underlying racism/negative preconceptions.
Job discrimination, like I said in certain professions there are things that make you wonder for example the fact that the majority of the judiciary are old white men

You already know you sound like a tit?


You're the one who brought up the Daily Mail and newspapers for your information, you started off on your own tangent there. I simply pointed out what a right idiot you can be, but if you're going to use The Daily Mail as an excuse for you to look down on the working class "dimwits" you need to be thinking about your own reading material too.

I already know I'm a snob so if you like, I'm really none too bothered to be quite honest.

It's not an excuse to look down on them, if they're a dimwit I'm likely to look down on them anyway. If they're a dimwit reading The Daily Mail then I may excuse their stupidity on certain issues a little bit if I'm feeling generous. If they're middle class and they're reading The Daily Mail.................. *takes out crowbar*
