31st Mac to 4th April 2008… A whole week of ‘Asian invasion’ in the campus of INSA LYON, seeing lots of passionate and motivated students (Asian or not) giving their best to present a carnival sort of event and to spread the ‘Asian love’ to everyone around.
First, there’s the spectacle on the first 2 days. A whole lot of Asian performance is put on in order to give the Asian flavour, for those who are really interested to our beautiful culture. Again, as this is an Asian week, it’s all about Asia, and nothing else other than Asia. Vietnamese dance, Lion+dragon dance, karate, taekwondo, sketch, Indian dance was among the famous performances.
Other than that, the other particularities of the ‘SA’ were Asian food, a Korean movie and also a soirée video game.
Since I’m in the orga bouffe equipe, so let’s talk more about food. A whole week of sushi bar was held in the middle of the campus to sell Asian foods. Nobody actually understood why it’s called sushi bar when it sells a whole lot of other Vietnamese and Chinese food aside from sushi maki, instead of other Japanese food, and it didn’t even offer alcohol, so precisely, the name doesn’t correspond with the content good sold. In the kitchen, non-stop cooking took place. The fun part was that I’ve made some new friends and have learnt some new stuff about gastronomy especially in making sushi, given that I squatted there for almost a week. It was an unforgettable experience indeed.
On the whole, it was truly a good opportunity to unite all Asians and all French who are interested about Asia. Sadly to say, Asia does not really interest French people on the whole, not all, but majority. Well, it seems like it’s just a natural phenomenon that not everyone is interested in everything…
Till then, signing off, still hesitating to make the move.
