Culture Night

This weekend has been a lot of work but it ended with alot of fun! Our school has an event every year called Culture Night and it is HUGE! It is held in our huge gym and almost every seat is filled with students, people from the community and people from other parts of the island. It is 2 nights where all the different clubs perform for 5-10 min of some sort from the culture. (All the clubs are different cultures..Japanese, Korean, Tongan, Samoan, etc)It's the biggest event of the entire school year and clubs spend months practicing. The clubs are made up of not only people from that culture, but people from all over. There were people from the Mainland dancing with Samoans, and Fijian people dancing with Japanese, it is really neat. There are traditional outfits, and music from all over the world, and customs that are awesome to watch. Most of the clubs dance, but some do skits. It is awesome! Jaliz was in the Samoan Club and they did an AWESOME job. The crowd went INSANE when it was Samoa's turn. They definitely did the best (although I am biased, it's true!) and everyone loved it! I am putting up some photos of the different clubs and then some clips of the different clubs performing also. I love that there is such a diversity here. I read that this school is the most diverse university in the United States. It's so awesome to be able to see this celebration of the different cultures and the acceptance there is of it all. Seeing people join these different clubs when they know little or nothing about that culture is so neat. They get to learn about the culture and do many customs of these cultures. It is such an awesome way to get to learn about other places and people!
