International House of Pancakes

Saawatdii kha (that's Hello in Thai). I just got home from the Southeast Asian Poetry Night. It was such great fun. My Thai class performed a poem first. I got to wear some tradition clothing (but since I don't have a camera, I can't show you) and said a whopping 3 lines and described it in English. Surprisingly, we were not the best- team Cambodia sang a beautiful song and then one which we could all sing along with, "Ya Ya Rapiya". The most creative performance would have to go to the Indonesian husband and wife team (think Sonny and Cher only from SEA) who sang "Bagaimana Jika" (What If) by Taufig Ismail (I highly recommend looking up the lyrics), though, even they were out done by the vocal stylings of my Japanese friend- I had no idea he was such a popstar.
Not to mention the refreshments were quite a hit! But that's just because I was in charge of that portion. Being the only one to make homemade desserts seemed really impress everyone. Little do they know of my secret plot to control their minds through my brownies! haa, haaaa, aaaa!
