The Chinese
Students & Students Association (CSSA), Vietnam Students Association (VSA),
and Council of International Organization (CISO) held a
celebration for the upcoming (February 10th) Asian New Year (Zodiac Year of the Snake) today at
Moulton Tower on USA's campus. The weather was gorgeous, hinting at spring, after the early morning deluge. There was a crowd of around 150 students, staff, and faculty to enjoy the events which included Dragon dancing (even to Gangnam Style!), drumming, and Shaolin kung fu demonstrations by the members of the Shaolin Institute of Mobile (www.shaolin-world.net). The Shaolin performers showed great agility and skill. The smell of the food provided for attendees wafted temptingly on the breeze. As promised, the firecrackers were enough to make the crowd take a few steps back and cover their ears.
This was a great cultural event, as Paige's photos show. We were happy to soak it all in.
