So, I am currently an incoming senior, and the graduating president of my school's Asian Club approached me to become next year's club president. Now, for the 2 years I've been in the club we mostly just watch Asian movies, eat out a Chinese, Korean and Japanese restaurants, and the highlight is basically the Lunar New Year festival. So, I've thought up a few club activities to do:
a) we have a noticeable population of Korean students, so I thought of buying a bunch of Korean food and getting the non-Koreans to have a taste test, something along the lines of wearing a blind-fold and us having to feed them.
b) teaching and playing Mahjong (outside of the school grounds, of course)
c) taking the club out to the brooklyn cherry blossom festival (this year, the festival came at the same time as the May SATs)
d) karaoke (or norabang, according to Koreans)
e) teaching and speaking basic phrases in Chinese, Korean and Japanese (hello, good-bye, how are you, etc)
f) cosplay (maybe a special thing for Halloween)
g) attending Anime conventions
As you can see, the activities are mainly about exposure to Asian culture, but also include fun for the whole club. So, can anyone suggest anything else to do?
