A trade show of Asian Fusian Culture: There's nothing quite like it!

Metro Asia Showcase is a spectacular event-filled exravaganza blending Far East ancient world virtues with contemporary Western practices. We call this special experience Asian Fusion. The themes for Metro Asia Showcase 2007 are designed around four Chinese philosophies: Happiness, Health, Home and Prosperity. It offers something for everyone, with ongoing cultural events and over 120 exhibits.

Experience the Orient Stage will feature cultural performances while educational presentations will be available in the Divine a Lifestyle Theatre. There will also be plenty to do, for example:
- Catch a ride in Pedicab Lane
- Interactive Sumo Suit Wrestling
- FlorAsia floral design contest
- Divine a Lifestyle Theatre topics such as Cooking, Feng Shui, Nutrition and Travels to Asia
- Experience the Orient Stage performances: Dragon Dance, Kendo, Tai Chi, etc.
This was quite a low-key but very enjoyable event. We started off at 10:30 with the dragon and lion dance, which was fantastic, and then walked around checking out the booths. There were a lot of travel and alternative health things, plus some furniture, food, textiles, etc. I bought some yummy Indian treats from the Calgary Sweet House booth. Look for a CCC Christmas dinner there to be posted soon!

Thanks to all who came out, and welcome to our newbie, Phil.
