XIHA (www.xihalife.com) connects the people of the world through a multilingual, cross-cultural exchange. Simultaneous, real-time translation allows XIHA citizens to share travel tips, pictures, music, videos, games, knowledge and perspectives.
By transcending language barriers, XIHA allows users to make new friends from around the globe, rather than merely reconnecting with high school acquaintances. Users can create blogs and homepages - or link to other social media- to share their personal experiences.
XIHA community members live in over 200 countries, with no country accounting for more than five percent of total traffic.
XIHA means 'fun' or 'happy' in Mandarin, and also 'Hip-Hop' in Cantonese.
