Ok, so I didn't keep my promise of updating my blog the same weekend I started it, but I'm not too worried about it, considering I haven't told too many people about my blog yet. :) So last time I mentioned that a lot has happened in the last few months, and that I was going to update everyone just on the highlights, right? Well, that's what I'm going to do now, and I'll do my best. Instead of doing different posts for each event, I'm going to try to cram them into one post...I hope this goes well. Here we go..
Culture Night
This was a huge campus wide event that went on probably a little over a month ago. It consisted of two nights of all the culture clubs from the university performing their own cultural dance. Anyone can join any of the culture clubs, and I kind of regret not joining one of them. It was amazing how much time and effort everyone put into their performances, and was even a little ridiculous in some cases, yet the outcome made it worth it. Some of the cultures that were represented through dance were Tonga, Samoa, Aotearoa (New Zealand), Africa, Taiwan, Tahiti...to name a few. Then for those of us who have no culture, nor can shake our hips at ridiculous speeds and still look good doing it, there was the swing club. Our performance turned out real well, but unfortunately I don't have a video clip of it right now to prove it, but once I get one, I'll be sure to post it. At least I've got some pics to prove it though...
This is my swing partner Wolfgang from Austria, a.k.a my boyfriend... :)

And here are some videos to give you an idea what it was all about:
Winter Ball
This was kind of like prom all over again, but more laid back and not as formal. The best part about it, was that it was on a mini cruise ship! We boarded the ship at Honolulu which then cruised along a portion of the coast of Oahu then turned back around, which was a total of 3 hours. There were 4 floors, the top being the deck with a beautiful view of Oahu, ocean and stars, the next floor contained the actual dance, the next was a the kareoke floor/games, and the bottom floor had a live jazz band to dance to. It was a lot of fun, especially to be able to experience it on a cruise ship!
The "Star of Honolulu" (not the balloon, that's the ship's name... :) )
