Went to Asian Festival yesterday at Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Garden, somewhere near downtown. This festival is one of the major special events in Central Ohio, which i have no idea why i missed it last year. Anyway, this festival aim to promote the cultural diversity and at the same time to build a vibrant, prosperous, and healthy community in which they do provide free health screening during the event. There are Asian Food stalls selling different kind of foods. I managed to try Indian, Thai, Indonesia, and Philippine's food (p/s: not bad, but the foods are quite expensive though). Besides, there are plenty of activities going on, including Asian Games, Career Fair, Children Areas - where different types of clothing available for children to get dress up, Culture Exhibits, Dragon Boat Competition, Health Pavilion, Market Place - kinda like pasar malam, Performances - dancing, singing, etc., and Martial Arts - i watched kids perform tae-kwon-do, they are just so cute! Personally, I think that America is made up of so many people from different ethnicity, and cultural background than you would expect; this festival definitely brought many asian people from all over the states together, and showcase our asian cultural heritage to the world.
