Agenda
- Meet at St. Mary’s Square around 6:30–6:40. We’ll split the big group into smaller ones.
- Each group mixes people who know photography with people who want to learn. You’re also welcome if you just want to walk, tag along, or explore.
- We’ve saved locations on Google Maps for photographers, casual walkers, and anyone who wants to connect and enjoy Chinatown’s shops.
- Groups head out on their own. Follow along on Google Maps for vista points and in the Instagram live chat.
- We meet back around 9:00. Anyone who wants to share photos, talk, or network can join us at a nearby pub for another hour or two.
Rules
- Be respectful. Some people in Chinatown are sensitive to visitors — treat residents, shopkeepers, and the neighborhood with care.
- Stay aware of your surroundings. The streets will be busy with other visitors and locals.
- Dress in layers. The weather can change quickly, especially in the evening.
