I always look forward to going to a cultural evening and meeting new and familiar people from other countries. Each cultural evening centers on a particular theme and once I was asked to help out with the Asian Night. It was fun to show other people how to fold a piece of paper to make an origami crane and to sing a Japanese song together.
