There was a wonderful event at the union last night titled 'culture shock', featuring almost 50 performances from many different cultures. Chris was dancing the Palestine-dance which had an uncanny resemblence to a Turkish folk dance we saw in MUS133 last semester. The Malays put up some Sarawak dance and there tons of others. (including a radical Asian-American guy ranting about Racism i could imagine him whipping out an Uzi after his emotion filled prose was completed. ok. but seriously...)
The sad thing was. I could only see about... 100 people there. The seating capacity was about 400. That's the sad thing about this country. I might be committing a hasty generalization right here but many of them are just too ignorant about the world outside America. Looking across the hallroom, one could see only a myraid of colors less the whites. I wish there would more of them to come and see what other cultures can offer them, beyond their RnB, alcohol and politics.
A random rant to take me away from my financial ratios, and i am about to dive back in right NOW.
