I know I haven't attended too many of the National Week events but thats because quite a few just didn't interest me. Memories - the Arabian week had some fabulous food tastings (BAKLAVA!), the Chinese week had, well, chinese food, Latin American week had caipirinhas in the lawns, Iberia (which I didnt attend but know from Tweedledum's active particpation) had porto tasting and paella, Heart of Europe had Oktoberfest (the mugs will be a memory forever). The ones I didnt register were the Israeli week, Australia and the Vikings.
They all pale in comparison now - the bollywood dhamaka had to be seen to be believed! There were seven teams participating. A non-Indian girl, who danced to 'Chuneri Chuneri' - she was brilliant - Shakira meets Ash meets Madhuri.
We had Mahi ve, a medley, 4 non-indians in a punjabi number - I must post the pictures when I lay my hands on them. And then in the interim between the peformances and the results, it was a dance floor with everyone going mad, sorry, 'dancing'. The grand finale was the bhangra dancers from the gurudwara in Paris. Have been told they will have a repeat performance at the party on Friday.

Today is a holi performance and then the cultural night. A must do - I have to pick up the party tickets for tomorrow.
Btw, tried grilling the chicken with the tandoori paste - it was brilliant!
