It would just take TEN... [View all]

Last edited Tue Jan 10, 2012, 06:44 AM - Edit history (1)

On the Help and Meta Discussion forum I had put forth the idea of there being a new group on DU. A group for Asian news, music, culture, history etc. (It was at Skinner's suggestion that I post this here ..) He said.. and I quote:

"If you can round up 10 people interested in joining, let me know and I'll set it up.

(In case there is any confusion, you have my permission to post in the General Discussion forum to gauge interest. Just include a little note in your post indicating that Admin said it was okay.)"

So... with that said... I know some of you have enjoyed my photos of Japan in the past.. and like reading the Japanese Folk Tales I had been posting. If any of you like Asian culture.. Music, language, food, fashion, entertainment, art, history, traditions, please feel free to sign up here, so I can present the names to Skinner. You need not be Asian to sign up (Though it helps ^^ HEY guys! Girls this is for us!!) and would be most welcome!! Huan Yin! Funyihng! Hwan Yeong! Yin Dee Ton Rub! Kumusta! Asia forumu e Yokoso!

I would be willing to host the group, or if possible have rotating hosts. (Can we do that?) It would just take TEN to sign up to have an Asian group (Under Race & Ethnicity ) and believe me, it will be fun!

Please support us by signing up here!! *bows deeply*

It would be much appreciated.
