OCEAN ODYSSEYS - Please join us to celebrate the adventurous voyages from Taiwan to Oceania more than 3,000 years ago that have connected us by culture, language and humanity. Put on a Hawaiian shirt, Taiwan aboriginal costume or facial tattoo -- and come enjoy live music, food and fun trivia!
STUDIES suggest that Polynesians originated from Taiwan. Their incredible journey passed through the Philippines to reach countries such as Tonga, New Zealand, Vanuatu and possibly Hawaii, Eastern Island and Madagascar (Please see articles below). Today, the linguistic similarities remain. Taro, yam and tapioca are common in daily food. Come prepared and you may have a chance to win prizes for trivia on Taiwan aboriginal culture.
APPERTIZERS will be served, including aiyu jelly, a summer dessert in Taiwan. Traditionally, the jelly is made with seeds of creeping figs which is found in high mountains. The jelly is usually served with sweetened lime juice. There will be bubble tea (boba tea) from Halin, the Taiwanese tea house that invented the popular drink in 1986.
Agenda -

6:45 - 7:45 - Live Polynesian music by Raymond Bambao
