Escapade through Asia

Do you love watching travel shows about exotic foreign countries? Are you a foodie that loves learning and trying Asian food like pho, dumplings, and curry? Want to learn more about the cultural practices of your neighbors and friends? Come learn about the rich history, unique holidays, and delicious traditional dishes of famous Southeast Asian countries, like Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, and more! Students will learn about perhaps unfamiliar cultural norms surrounding traditional medicine, music, religion, and family practices. Guest speakers will share their unique experiences and upbringings so we can all compare and appreciate our cultural similarities and differences. Students will also be encouraged to actively seek out or try authentic Southeast Asian stores and restaurants in their surrounding community, as well as share traditional, beginner-friendly recipes each week to try at home with family and friends.
