International Cultural Festival at NSYSU introduces culture of 15 countries
(Report by student journalist) At the end of November, NSYSU organized a three-day annual International Cultural Festival, introducing the culture of 15 countries. Each of the three days of the International Cultural Festival had a different leading theme; the Festival included a fashion show, with international students presenting traditional outfits from their countries, traditional games experience, and a food fair with delicacies from all over the world and the International Food Stand Competition, giving the Taiwanese and international students the opportunity to learn about other cultures even now, with traveling restrictions in force.
NSYSU Senior Vice President Mitch Chou and Vice President for International Affairs Chih-Wen Kuo beat the gong to signalize the start and the end of the Festival. On the first day of the Festival, students from Sri Lanka put on traditional costumes and gave a splendid dance performance waving Sri Lankan flags. The first day’s highlights included international students’ fashion show, during which they exhibited traditional outfits from their countries, and energetic dance performances by the students from Sri Lanka, Turkey, Peru, and Indonesia. One of the performers, a second-year student of the International Master Program in Asia-Pacific Affairs from Peru Nohelia Rivera wore a traditional powder pink dress and gave a unique dance performance, inviting the audience to join. She said that the dance not only conveyed the joy of dancing but also gratitude to Mother Earth.
Student of the first year of the Department of Theater Arts Selene Chiang wore a traditional Japanese outfit with high heels and other contemporary elements, combining the traditional with the modern. Selene said that she likes Japanese culture very much and decided to wear a traditional outfit with a change for her performance. She said she appreciated the opportunity to exchange culture with Japanese and other international students during the Festival.
During the Festival, the participants could try representative delicacies from Malaysia, Hong Kong, Macau, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Japan, and India, as well as experience Indian henna painting. Fourth-year student of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering Hsiang-Ting Tseng said that the food sold in the stalls representing Indonesia and India was very tasty and authentic, and appreciated the opportunity to broaden her horizons by experiencing different cultures and interacting with international students.
Each day of the Festival attracted many students and faculty of NSYSU, as well as local residents to explore other cultures and delicacies. A photo spot was set for taking photos of traditional outfits. NSYSU alumnus from Turkey Yavuz Avci visited the University as well, wearing a traditional outfit from the region in the Aegean region of Turkey, sang songs, and celebrated the 40th anniversary of the University together with the students and faculty.
