Thank you to all the following Seniors for an amazing year and helping all the underclassmen meld into the Asian Club community. We'll miss you!
Sydney Grace Baraa Colin (aka Butler) Thank you to everybody who came and brought food to the last food day of the year! While we had a food day earlier in the school year, this one felt so much more personal. Hot pots are often eaten in China with friends and family all around the table, and I feel that this hot pot truly brought us together -- not only as a circle of friends but also as the Asian Culture Club family. Check out the gallery for photos of the event and thank you again to everybody who came to the meeting. Let the hot pot be a yearly tradition!
Once again, Saya from the Asian Studies Center visited OHS! This time, Asian Club learned about the Japanese Tea Ceremony. Although a traditional Japanese Tea Ceremony is usually performed while wearing a kimono in a tea room, Asian Club did the tea ceremony in a classroom (see the Gallery for photos). Members split into groups of two and took on the roles of "Master" and "Guest" and conducted the tea ceremony while eating delicious sweet treats. The Master cleaned the bowl, scooped the Matcha, and prepared the tea using a Chasen before handing over the bowl -- decorations facing the guest! -- to the guest, who accepted with a solemn "Arigatou" and "Itadakimasu" -- Thank you and I humbly receive.
Whether it was the novelty of the Chasen or the delicious taste of the Matcha, many students made second cups of the tea while still in the roles of Master and Guest. Learning about the Japanese Tea Ceremony was a wonderful experience for the members and not only did they learn a lot, but they had a lot of fun. Check out the Gallery for all the photos! Many thanks to Mrs. Main for lending Asian Club her room and helping coordinate the event! Also, as always, thanks to Saya for teaching us so much! |
