Members of the UB community were recently entertained by a show called 'Himalayan Night', organized by the UB Himalayan Club. The show is an annual tradition of the club and features different cultural events from countries in the Himalayan region, including China, Nepal, Tibet, Pakistan, India and Myanmar. The show featured Nepali dances and songs, slide shows of the region, fashion shows with clothes from the region and Nepali food. Nepali students organized most of these events with some help from other students.
Chinese students also preformed ethnic songs, dances and martial arts. The new Soul Beat dance ensemble also had a performance.
Members of the audience had dressed for the occasion and many were in traditional Indian, Nepali and Chinese attire. The audience could not help laugh during the dances as the men tried to woo the women. Many students were very impressed with the fashion show. "It was diverse and looked very professional," commented Tokunbo Olaleyi.
The Himalayan Night was a great success and attracted over 400 students. With a semester filled with lots of other cultural events like, Diwali Night, I-Themba and Korean Night, UB students get to taste what the world has to offer.
