After about 1 and half month of my entry in US, here in Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, today I observed an International Food Market at Wes Watkins of OSU, Stillwater. Every foreign students of this university were gathered inside one big hall. Everyone was excited to show their own food with food they were eager to show their culture. The students, forgetting their pressure of homeworks, grades and exams, were happy to be be there and tried to make other taste the food they make which reflects the taste of their country.
Nepalese Student Association (NSA) has it's stall fixed on the right side of hall and on the table was decorated the taste of Nepal which consist of Rice, Chicken drum sticks with Nepali flavors, beans, tomato pickels. The table was also decorated with the little monuments and pictures as well as cultural and tradional items form Nepal. The monument of Gautam Buddha was one of item as well as the bell. The round metal vessel which produce the sound which helps in meditation was completely new to me as well. I pratise to produce sound from it. It feels like the sound is coming from the distant object even if you are producing it from the vessel. From that stall we are also able to sell the handicraft (wooden craft) window brought from Nepal. I was quite excited to sell the crafted window because it typically belong to my home town Bhaktapur.
Any way it was great fun to have such great events and represent Nepal in foreign land like US. Also it feels satisfaction when the people visiting stall actually taste the food and pass good complements of it. I am also looking forward to the cultural nights at OSU.
Here you can find some moments captured through my friends camera.
