Vietnamese Night

Last night in Coate Hall, the Vietnamese Student Association (VSA) hosted a "Vietnamese Night" from 5-7pm. There were several displays with tons of information about Vietnam, its people, and their culture. It was a great opportunity to learn about a different culture and actually get to talk and interact with students from Vietnam that attend UW-L. I was very pleased with the large number of students that attended!

The night included traditional Vietnamese food that the VSA students prepared themselves as well as games. There was also a demonstration of the Vietnam Bamboo Dance that we all got to participate in as well! It was tons of fun! A trivia game took place and the prizes that were given out were actually items from Vietnam---this was extremely awesome! I was able to win a set of a little Vietnamese man and woman that were intricately painted magnets. Overall, the night was a great learning experience and I thoroughly enjoyed it and I think everyone else did too! :)
