I heard about the China night last year but I didn't care to attend. I thought I have learned so much about the Chinese culture that there is no need to join any event about China.
However, yesterday, I attended the China Night 2008. Like what I did when I attended the Nepali Nite few weeks ago, I will also give my no-holds-barred views about the China Nite.Cultural presentation. It was good. There was a dragon dance, but not as lively as I always see on TV or in China towns. Rating - 7/10.
Attendance. The auditorium was filled from corner to corner. I am sure people were there for the food, which the Chinese culture has so much to share to the palette. Rating - 10/10.
Knowledge-gained. Truth be told, in my many years of staying in the Philippines with so many Chinese people around, I have already gained quite a huge idea of China and its culture. Also, I had so many Chinese students before who were eager to share about their country. For the sake of what I already knew, rating is 7/10.Emcees. Much better than the Nepali emcees -- much livelier! Rating - 9/10.
Food. What can I say? Food was amazingly good. I might be biased in the sense that I am used to eating Chinese food - from noodles to soup to chopsuey. Nonetheless, in comparison to the Nepali food, last night's dishes suited my taste. So, perfect rating - 10/10.
Chinese people. ...so many of them. Last night, except for the ushers who were stationed to sell tickets, some were not friendly. I am basing my views in the number of times they smile to their guests, even if they were busy preparing food. Rating - 6/10.
Until next review.
