A JAPANESE EVENING to remember



Personally I found the Japanese evening held on 28 April 2010 a very culturally stimulating event. The Bristol University Japanese Society excelled themselves. The range of experiences from Japanese food to a Japanese fashion show was outstanding. The lady arranging the women’s fashion display, where she assisted dressing women guests in traditional Japanese Kimono, was amazing! I saw Ruth of BISC transformed as she was adorned in a white Japanese Kimono.

The Japanese calligraphy being undertaken by all was very enjoyable but perhaps a bit messy! I got ink all over my hands. It was like being at school again! I preferred the kitchen and Japanese food and was shown how to cook noodles to perfection. It was perhaps the first time in the history of BISC that Dr Chill was seen wearing a hair net. Perhaps this should be seen as a complement as he has so little hair. A medical student who came from West Malaysia kindly supervised my cooking of noodles. Funny, I didn’t know that West Malaysia was in Japan!! However the noodles and the sushi (taught by an experienced sushi chef) were excellent. Dr Chill spent the remainder of the evening hanging around the kitchen in case there were some spare noodles going.

All in all this was an excellent evening and culturally pleasing. Let’s hear it for the Japanese Society and please visit us again.

Keep smiling, and remember BISC is there for you especially during the exam period.

Regards from your own Dr Chill
