Saturday was the 19th annual Asian Festival held at Dallas City Hall. There were over 60 booths, and different performances on the main stage. May is known as Asian-Pacific Heritage month and I was fortunate enough to have been asked by the Greater Dallas Asian Chamber of Commerce to Emcee the day's events with Chris Flannagan, one of Dallas's own WFAA Channel 8 newscasters. Although the day was scheduled for thunderstorms, most of the morning was okay and there was a very large turn out to see all the performances. Cultures from all over Asia were recognized, from India, Thailand, China, and Japan. I finished the day by drinking one of my favorite Asian drinks........ bubble tea, which is a flavored tea with tapioca "pearls" on the bottom, it is drank with a wider straw!
