Get Cultured

Hello my lovely friends!

This week is Multicultural Week which is one of the biggest reasons why I love York and its location. Being so very close to Toronto ensures that a lovely variety of cultures will mix together to create awesomeness and this week celebrates that awesomeness so what's not to love?

Today was the food fair and I wish I could've brought more money to spend because everything looked amazing! It was also the DJ World Cup at the same time and this entire event is done at the club on campus. So everythings rrrreeeaalll close together so in someway its annoying, but in another really cool because when the DJ plays something that everyone likes, then theres a whole ton of dancing and flag waving and it's just... wonderful. There are so many clubs represented at this event, it's insane. The times when national anthems are played and everyone goes crazy is even better. It's like the entire happy world is in one little spot and the aromas and colours just dazzle you.

I just really enjoy this because a piece of someone's culture is shared and you get to experience something incredibly different than the day to day foods and customs although even in the maison franglais house I'm proud to say we have a nice little cultural flair in terms of food. Curry is always a popular dish and I realized that my family and I eat many Asian dishes. I never realized how influenced I was by the food I ate at home until I ended up buying the basics of soya sauce, ginger, hoisin sauce, and sesame oil.

Thursday is the day of stage performances which makes me very happy because I love love lovvveee seeing the different dances and costumes.

Hope you all have a great week! :)

Love
