Japanese Cultural Night And Bon Odori
This event took place just last Saturday evening at Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS). It was organized by the UMS Japanese Cultural Club (JCC). Member of the club consist of undergraduate student from the university. It's main purpose was to expose students to Japanese culture and at same time having fun. This year, the main event took place outside the Canselor hall instead of inside. There were many activities going on such as singing and dancing performances, martial art, cosplay, various booths selling food, games and not to be miss the Bon Dance. I took part in the bon dance for the first time with my Yukata, it was really fun. Here's some of the photos taken.
Delicious sushi, they sold at half price at the end of the event
Takoyaki by Japanese Dream Food restaurant, tons of folks queuing for this, i'm only able to nom it after the main event finished

I JELLY! now that's a real japanese cultural event! my Uni had the same program for a week and it paled in comparison compared to this (they focused more on the traditional culture of Japan).
i wished they put a little bit more attention to Japanese pop culture :(
lol..perhaps you can suggest some activities to them...
lol i graduated already. that was their 1st Japanese-related event.
aha..too bad..hope they are improving after that XD

Don't know what anime it's from. But I love this group shot :P

I wish we had something like this here in Florida. I feel so isolated sometimes even though a lot of people like elements of Japan like sushi.
