Junior Achievement of Central Florida pre-sented C.T. Hsu, FAIA, LEED AP, with the Spirit of Achievement Award at the 2010 Mid-Florida Business Hall of Fame ceremony at the Rosen Centre Hotel on November 11.

According to the awards program guide: “With unwavering dedication, Mr. Hsu has signifi cantly enhanced the quality of life in Central Florida and beyond as a dedicated community servant who has long supported the aims of Junior Achievement ‘to inspire and prepare young people to success in a global economy.’”

In his acceptance speech, Hsu said, “I think the lesson of my life’s journey is that with hard work and the support of a loving family, anyone – even an Asian immigrant – can be successful in America. It’s a lesson that Junior Achievement teaches every day; inspiring and empowering students to believe in themselves and make a difference in the world.”

Hsu came to America from Taiwan in 1974 to pursue a Master of Architecture in Advanced Studies degree at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). In 1984, he moved to Orlando and started C.T. Hsu + Associates.

Twenty years later, the fi rm was honored by the American Institute of Architects as Flori-da’s “Firm of the Year.”

Mariah Roman, a 12th grader at Edgewater High School, presented Hsu with the award. In her introduction, she said, “What really amazes me is his dedication to help children in need. Almost 200,000 people have benefi ted from Mr. Hsu’s volunteer leadership, ranging from pre-kindergarten children to disabled adults. He has devoted more than 5,000 volunteer hours in the past decade in service to others.”

In her remarks, Roman said, “Because of you, I value my education a lot more, and I realize it’s not necessarily how you start out but it’s your determination to succeed and give back to your community.”

“Congratulations, and thank you, Mr. Namiki.”

One year and two months ago, I arrived in Miami to begin my post as the eighth Consul General at the Consulate General of Japan in Mi-ami. I expected to be here for a longer time, but I recently received a ministerial order that I was being called back to Japan to be given a new as-signment. I am honored to serve my country and go where I am needed, but I face my upcoming departure with a slightly bittersweet feeling. I am excited for what is ahead of me, but I will miss the Sunshine State. This was my fi rst time living and working in a primarily English speaking country.

Congratulations, and thank you, Mr. Namiki.並木総領事、おめでとうございます。そして、ありがとうございました。

On the night of Orlando Japan Festival 2010, we had a little gather-ing with Consul General of Japan, Namiki at Teppan Edo (by Mitsuko-shi) in EPCOT Japan. We enjoyed Sushi, Tuna Ceviche, Teppanyaki, wine, Shochu, Sake cocktail, green tea fl an and ginger chocolate cake as well as conversations with Mr. Namiki.

After our dinner was the EPCOT fi reworks showtime! It was the very fi rst time for Mr. Namiki to watch the EPCOT fi reworks.

My previous assignments have had me located in the Spanish speaking part of the world, so com-ing to Florida was a new experience for me.

Now as I prepare to depart, I fi nd myself reminiscing over all of the things I have done during my stay. I have attended many Japanese culture festivals (most recently the excellent Orlando Japan Festival), spoken with American students who are learning Japanese, attended space shuttle launches, promoted Japan’s bid to assist Florida in creating a high speed railway, and played many games of golf! I am also proud

to recall my offi ce’s involvement with the Japan Disaster Relief Team’s response to the Haitian earthquake this past year.

Before leaving, I wanted to take the time to applaud the Orlando Japan Festival Committee and to everyone who helped organize this spe-cial event. In my absence, you will fi nd a willing partner in the recently appointed Honorary Con-sul General of Japan in Orlando, the Honorable Harris Rosen. I am sure I will continue to hear of your successful event for years to come.

Message from Consul General Namiki

It was such a beautiful night. Everyone relished the entire experi-ence with Mr. Namiki including his friendliness and sense of humor.

Consul General Namiki is promoted to be an ambassador after only 14 months of his duty in Miami. We don’t know which country he will be dispatched to yet, but I would like to extend our congratulations to his upcoming successful years.

Ricky Ly: Promoting Brotherhood and Service among Asian-Americans through Pi Delta Psi

organizations at UCF, united together to combat this apathy and dissatisfaction on campus through cultural programming, networking, and incorporating leader-ship development into our activities,” he said. “We founded the UCF chapter of Pi Delta Psi because we wanted a stronger voice for Asian-Americans. We also felt we needed a stronger sense of brotherhood on campus.”

After years of coordinating the effort to launch a Pi Delta Psi fraternity at UCF, Ly’s vision for the univer-sity’s Asian-American student body became a reality. In 2008, Ly’s senior year, it was made offi cial: UCF became the fraternity’s 26th national chapter.

Since then, the UCF organization has grown. Ac-cording to Ly, the university now has 35 members and 17 active alumni including himself. The UCF members make up a portion of the 1,600 brothers nationwide.

“One of the best things about the fraternity is the opportunity it gives us to give back to the community,” Ly said. “Pi Delta Psi has done everything from feed-ing the homeless to adopting a highway on Alafaya Trail. We also raised $2,000 for the 2008 earthquake victims in China,” he said.

For him personally, Ly’s membership has extend-ed beyond his college days. Now 25 and a civil en-gineer at Inwood Consulting Engineering in Oviedo, Ly continues to benefi t from his Pi Delta Psi experi-ences.

“Being a member of Pi Delta Psi has taught me many important lessons from time management, leadership, to never giving up no matter what ob-stacles are ahead. It has given me lifelong lessons as well as lifelong brotherhood for which I will forever be grateful. No matter where I go, I fi nd brothers who I never even met before who open their hands and

hearts as friends.”

Ly said he recently went to Hong Kong and met with eight alumni brothers who were working there for JP Morgan. He had dinner with them despite the fact that many he had never met before. “The connec-tion became instant because of our common bond of brotherhood through Pi Delta Psi,” he said.

As the national marketing director for the frater-nity, Ly said his vision for the future of the organization is two-fold. For the UCF chapter, he wants to bring in more quality members while continuing to work with the Asian-American community. Nationally, he hopes to see Pi Delta Psi grow and partner with other na-tional organizations with similar ideals.

“I’d like to see Pi Delta Psi be the voice for Asian-Americans nationally and to continue the four ideals, also known as the four pillars, of the original found-ers: academic achievement, cultural awareness, righ-teousness and friendship and loyalty,” he said.

When asked to share his personal “pillars” in the form of advice to young Asian-Americans, Ly said this: “Focus on school but have a balanced life with room for work, family and the community. As immigrants and children of immigrants to America, we have been given a world of opportunity and freedom. We have a responsibility to give back to our community and make it better than when we found it. It is our duty as citizens of this great nation.”

Jodi Kiely currently works as the develop-ment associate at Quest, Inc. where she man-ages several of the non-profi t organization’s fundraising, communications and marketing projects. Quest’s mission is to build communi-ties where people with disabilities achieve their goals, whether it is going to school, having a job, living independently or experiencing sum-mer camp. Originally from Minnesota, Kiely is

also a former Peace Corps volunteer and is active in several local organizations including the Central Florida Asian-American Chamber of Commerce. Her writing for Asia Trend Magazine is independent of her job and does not refl ect the offi cial views of her employer.

In 2001, the University of Central Florida’s Offi ce of the President commissioned a report on the Status of Ethnic and Racial Minorities. The summary pro-duced alarming fi ndings: of all ethnic groups at UCF, Asian-Americans were the least satisfi ed with their college experience.

At the time, Asian-Americans were battling the stereotype of being the “model minority” which viewed them as quiet, nerdy and lacking social skills. In re-sponse to this label, the university’s Asian-American student body united together to fi ght this image and redefi ne their role at UCF.

It wasn’t until 2005, however, that wheels were set in motion to bring to campus a national fraternity created to promote “understanding between the vari-ous Asian cultures, build relations extending beyond the academic years and most importantly, fi nding and building an individual’s skill sets.” The fraternity was Pi Delta Psi which was founded nationally in 1994 at Binghamton University, State University of New York. The young men behind the campaign to bring the Pi Delta Psi Fraternity to UCF were ten men of diverse backgrounds including then UCF student and current Pi Delta Psi national marketing director Ricky Ly.

Over 150 volunteers from local schools and groups participated at the annual Orlando Japan Festival 2010 on November 7th. With the perfect crisp Florida fall weather, the festival drew 3,500 at-tendants this year. We had enthusiastic volunteers from local middle school, high schools, college, youth group as well as parents and teachers from the Orlando Hoshuko ( former Orlando Japanese language school). As a local volunteer coordinator, I was very grateful for all participants who signed up in such a short notice and generously contributed their time at this year’s festival. The festival success was the fruit of perfect volunteerism!

By Izumi Sakurada

These are reflections from few of dedicated volunteers:

REACH members were glad to volunteer in the Orlando Japan Festival. We enjoyed good food, great performances and good bargain at the festival. We had a total of 12 REACH mem-bers and everyone did a great job in helping to set up the festival. I especially enjoyed the vari-ous performances such as the Taiko drums, dif-ferent carnival games, and the scrumptious food. I was deeply impressed by the Taiko drum per-formance because it requires skillful communica-tion, physical fitness and coordination among the drummers. Overall, I felt this Japanese festival had exceptional planning and organization which made this event a huge success. Leaders of Or-lando Japan Festival were so kind and helpful and led by action. This festival provided a chance for REACH members to volunteer with friends, and learned new culture. REACH would like to continue to volunteer in this festival in future.

Hans Lau, President of REACH

Our school, the Montessori School of Cele-bration, has been fortunate to join Mr. Takemasa and Mrs. Yuko Ishikura, Taiko instructors at our school, at the Japanese Festival for the last sev-eral years. Our students perform as part of the Hundreds Drums and it is always an exhilarating experience to see – and hear – them be part of this event. One of the core concepts in the Montes-sori philosophy that we go by at our school is the importance of creating opportunities for children to learn and experience cultures from around the world. As Dr. Maria Montessori said, “Establish-ing lasting peace is the work of education.” What better way to teach peace than to have authentic cultural experiences like the Japanese Festival, where children can enjoy, partake and celebrate the wonders of the Japanese culture.

Karen Simon / Director of the Montessori School of Celebration

My experience at the J-fest was truly fantas-tic. As soon as I got there, I felt like I was actu-ally in Japan. With the Japanese food and culture around me, and the wonderfully talented Taiko drummers performing, it really put me in Japan. Everywhere I turned, friendly people were smiling at me. I felt welcomed immediately. I volunteered to preform traditional Japanese story telling, “Ka-mishibai”. I also participate to do face painting at Ennichi carnival area. It was so much fun to see all happy children’s faces after their faces was painted. The festival showed hospitality to their volunteers by offered free lunch! we had the choice of pizza or a soy sauce meat ball hot dog. They were both delicious! The entire fest was well organized and I truly had a fantastic time. I honestly will never forget it and all the interesting fun people I met at the festival.

I had wonderful opportunity to perform Taiko, Japanese drumming at the festival as a member of S-team of Orlando Taiko Dojo.

What a wonderful opportunity to perform Taiko, Japanese Drumming!

What a privilege to be part of the Japan fes-tival as a member of the S-team of the Orlando Taiko Dojo!

What a great experience to share my passion for Taiko! What Taiko means to me:

Each sound vibrates instantly in your soul!

Each beat releases you from any stress, fa-tigue or worry!

Each melody brings you energy and peace simultaneously!

Each shout provokes life within you and around you!

Whether you are playing, watching, listening or feeling the Taiko rythm, everyone can benefit and enjoy from its powerful vibration.

Arigatou!

Eight Thousand Enjoy Heart of Florida Asian Festival

By Suzanna Mars Suzanna MarsEight thousand people visited the Historic Thomas Center in Gainesville on October 23 and 24 for the third annual Heart of Florida Asian Festival. This year marked the fi rst time that the festival was held over a weekend, which allowed people who paid admission on Saturday to return on Sunday without paying a second time.

Since its beginning in 2008, the Heart of Florida Asian Festival has grown from a local into a regional attraction. This year, the great-ly expanded event featured seven performing areas as well as the popular food court and exhibition areas.

The event kicked off with a colorful proces-sion of nations and organizations that wound around the Thomas Center fountain. As is festival custom, the procession was led by the Celebrate Asia Dance Team from Jacksonville and the team’s brightly colored Chinese lion.

Celebrate Asia was also the fi rst group per-forming, when Liu, Li took the Live Oak stage with a traditional Mongolian dance. Bells sewn to the back of Ms. Liu’s bright red cos-tume mimicked the sound of horse bells as the horses charged across the steppes of Mongo-lia. Following Ms. Liu on the Live Oak stage were the acclaimed SinoElite Acrobats from Orlando, who returned for a second year of daredevil acrobatics that included plate spin-ning, face changing, unicycle balancing, and a special dance from the Peking Opera.

Indoors, Liang, a performer familiar to fans of America’s Got Talent, mesmerized the audi-ence with her own brand of acrobatics, which includes a comedy routine by emcee Bill Patti. The Liang Acrobatic and Comedy Show has been with the Heart of Florida Asian Festi-val since its start and it continues to be a big draw.

New to the festival in 2010 was the Bun-raku Bay Puppet Troupe from the University of Missouri, which performed two selections from its repertoire in the Knight Amphitheatre. Bunraku is traditional Japanese puppetry that differs from Western puppetry by having the puppeteers visible to the audience. The puppeteers wore head-to-toe black as they manipulated the elaborate puppets in pieces designed for welcome and for celebration. Also in the Knight Amphitheatre was a dem-onstration of kyudo—Japanese archery—that rotated with the Bunraku performances over the two-day festival.

Food is a big draw at the Heart of Florida event, and for 2010 the food court included fi rst-time vendors The Loving Hut, Radhika’s Café, and Maui Teriyaki alongside popular return-ing vendors Thai-American Food and Vong-say Enterprises. Festivalgoers ate samosas, vegan Thai spring rolls, chicken rice bowls, and Filipino lumpia while watching roving lion dance and Chinese yo-yo performances. Also in the food court was a skillful demonstration of the art of Kae-Sa-Luk, or fruit-carving, by master carver Pam Maneeratana.

Retail/activity booths from new participants the Gainesville Chinese School and the Geor-gia International Folk Fair were a huge hit, with people crowded around each booth throughout the weekend. Returning vendors sold antique

kimono, saris, jewelry, exotic teas and coffees, and fi ne arts.

Ties to the University of Florida’s Asian student body continued to be of paramount importance to the festival. The Friendship Association of Chinese Students and Schol-ars provided a pantomime fashion show with musical accompaniment that was a surprise hit of the event, while a talented member of the Japanese Club drew caricatures and the Turkish Student Association exhibited native textiles and pottery.

The City of Gainesville collaborated with the Harn Museum for the gallery exhibition “Tokaido Road Tales,” which was displayed in the Thomas Center Gallery. The gallery is a little-known gem of an exhibition space that sits to the rear of the Spanish Court and which during the Heart of Florida Asian Festival has Asian artwork on display. The collaboration was a year in the making and was curated by Jason Steuber, the Harn’s Cofrin Curator of Asian Art.

Festival director David Ballard, who cre-ated the event three years ago with a one-time grant from the Smithsonian Institution, felt the time was right to take the event from one to two days. “We had a great response in 2008 and 2009 with a one-day event, so anticipating that the festival was going to grow, going to two days was the obvious choice.”

Plans for the 2011 festival, also a two-day event, are already underway, Ballard says. “We hope to keep expanding the festival’s pro-fi le as a major regional attraction that will also appeal to the tourist market.” Tourism poten-tial is an essential component of the festival’s funding, Ballard notes, so its marketing out-reach extends far beyond its Alachua County home. Out-of-county and out-of-state visitor numbers were impressive for the 2010 event and this number is expected to grow in the fu-ture.

The Heart of Florida Asian Festival is pro-duced by the City of Gainesville Department of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs, the department that is also responsible for the Downtown Festival and Art Show and the Hoggetowne Medieval Faire.

By Master Kerby Kuek

Master Kerby Kuek has been practicing Feng Shui and life reading for more than 10 years. His areas of expertise include Chinese astrology, name analysis, face reading, as well as I-Ching. Kuek strongly believes that Chinese Metaphysics is nothing superstition: It is a combination of formulae, experiences and common sense, whereby a trained master can skillfully integrate it into your daily life and thus help you to achieve your personal and fi nancial goals. He has published three books on fung shui. Email: [email protected]

Tao is variously defi ned as the way, the path, the truth, reason or moral order.

However, Lao Tzu says the Tao that can be given a name is not the eternal Tao. Also, such a name, if given, is not the eternal or everlasting name for Tao.

Try this on for size: once we ascribe a name to, let’s say, a cup, then everything else is “not-a-cup!”

We are required to see things with the heart and not merely with our eyes.

The teachings of Tao will eventually lead us to love and do things in accordance with the natural way.

Han dynasty scholar Dong Zhongshu used the term Unifi cation of Tian (heaven) and Ren (human) to describe the natural movements of planets. He said the universe and Earth’s very structure embodies the principle that all humans are meant to co-exist harmoniously.

The sun rises every morning to wake us up and provide life-giving sunlight to all beings. The moon rises on time each night, signaling a time of rest.

The sun will not rise in the west and set in the east, neither will the moon change its course. They are not temperamental and will never be late.

The ancient Chinese interpreted this as trust and called it the Tao of Heaven.

Likewise, humans and all living beings must not act against the Tao of Heaven by destroying the environment that we live in.

The Tao of Humans requires us to mimic the heavenly law of Tao by trusting naturally.

Confucius’ teachings say the Tao of Humans is refl ected in the fi ve virtues of benevolence, justice, rituals, knowledge and trustworthiness.

In other words, this “path” shows the way to following the spirit of righteousness and fi lial piety.

Chinese metaphysics is based on such principles and parameters to help human beings function properly and morally.

The responsibility lies with the practitioners of Tao, as success in promoting the ancient arts will only be as much as they allow it to be.

Thought of the month: Nobody can go back and start again, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.

Tao the Eternal Line

Western han scholar Dong Zhongshu, in his tome Chun Qiu Fan Lu, or Luxuriant Dew of the Spring and Autumn Annals, wrote about the importance of harmony between heaven and humans and how any deviation would violate that.

Humans have 365 minor bones, matching the 365 days in a year, and 12 major ones, matching the 12 months of the year. Our skin is like the earth’s surface, while our blood vessels are like the rivers, oceans and mountains.

Our happiness is like a summer day, anger a cloudy day or autumn, joy like spring, sorrow like winter. The body’s wu zhang, or fi ve major organs, relate to the wu xin, or the fi ve elements, while our limbs match the four seasons.

This systematic wisdom handed down by the ancients means that fung shui is neither superfi cial nor superstitious.

The concept of yin and yang is also embedded in our lives. We wake up in the morning, when the yang is predominant, and we go to sleep

when the yin suffuses the air. Women represent yin and men yang, just as the sky is yang and the earth is yin.

Based on this knowledge, the ancient Chinese were able to devise predictive tools to conquer the unknown. They knew that unkind energy is often the result of a violation of the cosmic or natural law, while kind energy fl ows from the natural order of things.

Put simply, auspicious events result when energy is fl owing naturally, while inauspicious events occur when there is a violation of the natural law or a disruption in the interaction between humans and heaven.

That is why the Chinese emphasize fi lial piety, because it means not just respect for the elderly but also respect for mother nature and a world that gives us life and energy.

Thought of the month: Use every moment to think the purest thought, say the kindest word and do the noblest deed.

In June, the TOP 500 list of the World’s most powerful supercomputers was released, and the United States’ Jaguar topped the list with China’s Dawning 6000 or Nebulae, coming in second. However, just fi ve short months later, the Tianhe-1, another one of China’s supercomputers, is now capable of completing 2,507 trillion operations per second, with 4,700 tril-lion at its peak. This is a computing speed that is 1.425 times faster than the Jaguar.

Dr. Nobert Attig, the Head of the Application Support Division in the Juelich Supercomputing Center has indicated that this is a great success for China.

The Tianhe-1A architecture is based on graphics processing units or GPUs, and the supercomputer is expected to play a key role in oil explora-tion, and aviation and aerospace research.

Dr Attig, says once the World masters the technology to build super-computers, the remaining challenge will be to apply the systems effi ciently. The supercomputers will need to effectively maintain their programming capability as their applications widen while at the same time reduce power consumption to a reasonable level.

Unveiled an Image of The Moon

On November 8th, 2010, the Chinese State Administration of Science - Technol-ogy and Industry for National Defense (SASTIND) released photos of the Moon’s Sinus Iridum, or Bay of Rainbows, marking a signifi cant accomplishment for China’s second lunar probe mission. The photos were taken by a charge-coupled device camera aboard the Chang’e-2 lunar probe, the successor to the Chang’e-1 which was launched in October 2007, both of which are named after a legendary Chinese moon goddess.

The area captured in the photos has been proposed as the landing ground for future Moon missions. Upon completion of the Chang’e-2’s six-month mission, the probe will either (1) be crashed into the moon, (2) be released into outer space, and (3) return to Earth.

China’s Supercomputers

Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao attends an unveiling ceremony for pictures of the moon’s Sinus Iridum, or Bay of Rainbows, taken and sent back by the Chang’e-2, China’s second lunar probe, in Beijing, capital of China, Nov. 8, 2010.

An intense battle began to take shape in the lucrative multi-touch screen tablet PC market as Apple’s popular iPad offi cially hit stores in Korea on Nov 30.

The launch comes after local giant Samsung Electronics unveiled its new 7-inch Galaxy Tab in Korea last month.

“The media device iPad will bring revolutionary change to our digital lifestyle triggering mass consumption of contents,” said Pyo Hyun-myung, president of the mobile business group at KT. “The iPad, along with Apple’s iPhone, is expected to offer a new and favorable experience for people with the combination of our network and the variety of contents shown in the applications.”

KT Corp., the exclusive carrier of the iPhone in Korea, announced the release of the iPad by holding a launching party with 100 early adopters at its headquarters in downtown Seoul.

The tech-savvy customers formed a line beginning at 4 a.m. to purchase

Scientists have already deciphered the code of life by unlocking the secret of human DNA. From a Buddhist perspective, the code of life or DNA has another name—karma. The Buddha taught the world about it more than 2,500 years ago. If DNA is interpreted as a unit, as in a cell, it is not enough to explain life; it is not all encompassing. Karma is the more comprehensive explanation.

Karma is the action of the body, speech, and mind. There is wholesome, unwholesome, and neu-tral karma. “Even going through thousands of kalpas, the karma created never dies.” All the karma generated by the body, speech, and mind will be stored in the warehouse of karma, the way a com-puter stores information. “When the causes and conditions are right, karmic retribution will be expe-rienced by the self.” The law of karma is immutable. What goes around comes around—it may ripen tomorrow, next month, or many years from now, but it is inevitable. The karmic retribution of cause and effect never fails.

Karmic power is one of the Buddha’s great realizations. Humans live from previous lives to the current one, and then carry on to future lives. The crucial link is karmic power, which strings the ongo-ing lives together like a rope. Nothing is missing; nothing is lost. Because of karma, life never ends. “Water from the spring rains fl ows along toward the east.” Similarly, the seasons change with time, spring comes and fall goes, and along with them, the warm weather and the cool breezes. Everything comes and goes in cycles and is reborn. Any conditioned dharmas can be destroyed, but only the code of life is indestructible and exists infi nitely.

DNA can only depict the components of an individual life. But, according to Buddhism, there is not only individual karma; there is also collective karma. For instance, the reason for so many individu-als being born in the same family, the same village, or the same tribe is “collective karma.” Or, when people from different walks of life experience an accident while traveling on a ship or a plane, some die while others survive. That is “collective karma,” which is comprised of “individual karma.” Scien-tists have already discovered DNA as the code of life for the individual, and it is hoped that they can further determine the common factors among living beings.

Because of variations in DNA, different lives are formed. Our karmic power, however, manifests in different ways. There is karma that is generated and arrives in this life, like planting in the spring and harvesting in the fall. Then, there is karma that is generated in this life but arrives in the next life, like planting this year and harvesting next year. Last but not least, there is also the karma that is generated in this life but doesn’t arrive until some life beyond the next life, like a harvest that is planted this year and harvested a number of years later. So, karma always manifests itself; it is just a matter of time.

The truths of causes and conditions, karma, and karmic retribution in Buddhism are the absolute truths. These truths are absolute, universal, and equal for all. The discovery of DNA by scientists only serves to explain the content and function of karma more comprehensively.

CAI-SHEN: bring the wealth to your house In Chinese religion, the popular god (or gods) of wealth, widely believed to bestow on his devotees

the riches carried about by his attendants. During the two-week New Year celebration, incense is burned in Cai Shen’s temple (especially on the fi fth day of the fi rst lunar month), and friends joyously exchange the traditional New Year greeting “May you become rich” (“Gongxi facai”). Cai Shen (財神) is the God of Wealth and Cai Shen Dao means the God of Wealth is coming.

On the eve of Chinese New Year, almost all the Chinese will pray and “invite” the God of Wealth to their house. This is done as Chinese believes the Cai Shen will bring them wealth and good luck throughout the year.

A separate “internal” award (for current members or directors), the President’s Leadership Award, was bestowed upon Nina Yon, AACC’s Vice President of Internal Affairs.

While dining on mahi-mahi in lemon sauce, chicken and a trio of des-serts, guests were treated to a 15-minute highlight presentation of “The Nutcracker” by the Orlando Ballet. The fi ve ballet dancers showcased the talents of some of Orlando Ballet’s most accomplished performers, including Chiaki Yasukawa (from Osaka, Japan, and in her tenth year with Orlando Ballet); Sohee Bae and A reum Chung (both from Seoul, Korea, and starting their fourth year in Orlando); Brandon Nguyen (from Fort Worth, Texas and in his third year with the company) and Daniel Benevides (from Anaheim, California, and beginning his fi fth year with Orlando Ballet).

Earlier in the evening, Chamber members and guests were also en-tertained by Indian dancers from the Vashnie Dance Academy; an eight-member Asian musician ensemble from REACH (www.reachocf.org); and two lion dances from Sifu Charles’ Lion Dance Team.

VIP guests included Orlando Commissioner Robert Stuart; Marcia Hope Goodwin, Director of the City of Orlando’s Community Affairs; U.S. Ambassador Harriet L. Elam-Thomas; actor Philip Michael Thomas (De-tective Tubbs in “Miami Vice”); and other dignitaries.

“With the success of our fi rst Golden Dragon Awards, we are already planning an even more spectacular awards ceremony for next October,” said Glenn Leong, President of the Chamber. “Our goal is to make these Awards our signature event every year. We really want to shine a light on our local members, entrepreneurs and businesses and say, ‘These are the best that Greater Orlando has to offer.’”

The full performance of Orlando Ballet’s “The Nutcracker” will be held at Bob Carr Performing Arts Centre on December 17-19, 2010. Visit www.OrlandoBallet.org for seating and ticket availability.

The REACH Ensemble performs at Asian American Chamber of Commerce Golden Dragon Awards Ceremony


The REACH Ensemble is a group that is com-prised of distinguished and talented young musi-cians in Central Florida. They not only actively participate in High School Orchestras, but they also audition for the Florida All-County and All-State Orchestras. Many of them are also mem-bers of the renowned Florida Symphony Youth Orchestra and are holding leading positions such as being a concertmaster, a principal and an assistant principal. Now, playing Asian music is their new challenge since there are a limited amount of music scores. To solve this challenge, some of the musicians watched music videos on YouTube repetitively for an understanding of the melody and have started to rearrange the music by just listening to the music on YouTube. Mem-bers of the REACH ensemble always improvise to make their music sound more musical. REACH Ensemble Director is Koichi Kanaoka and the members are Sean Chew, Hans Lau, Frank Lau, Sangji Lee, Hye Jun Lee, Priscilla Leung, Ben Liu and Duc-Quy Nguyen – Hans Lau, President of REACH

REACH Ensemble played at the AACC Gold-en Dragon Award on Nov 19, 2010 and here are some refl ections from REACH Ensemble mem-bers:

It is a real honor and pleasure to be the En-semble Director of the REACH program. I have arranged and composed many Asian styled songs, and through this program, we have many opportunities to share the Asian cultural heritage with the community through music. One of the events we were privileged to participate in was the AACC Golden Dragon Awards. We are for-tunate to have many talented young musicians to represent our Asian heritage, who also repre-sent the Florida Symphony Youth Orchestra, and were able to successfully present our cultural music and supported other Asian organizations. We are improving our library and skills daily, and are ready to further spread our Asian cultural heritage with our community through our musical performances – Koichi Kanaoka, Ensemble Direc-tor of REACH

I decided to join a small ensemble of REACH members to play at the Asian American Chamber of Commerce. At fi rst, I thought it’d be like any other ensemble- but boy was I wrong! We all dressed in cultural clothing to represent our re-spective countries. Since I’m from Korea, I wore my hanbok. All the Asian countries we were rep-resenting came together harmoniously to produce traditional Asianesque music. All our differences were placed aside we came together to play as a united force and lead the lion into a banquet hall. REACH has helped me realize that I’m not only a Korean- American, but I’m an Asian- American as well. - Hye Jun Lee

The REACH Ensemble practiced Asian pieces a few times after school. My favorite part of being in the REACH Ensemble was when I played General Mandate with the Dancing Lion. I liked this performance experience as it was nice to perform in front of many business men and women. When I play in an Orchestra, the conductor usually leads the musicians but when I was in the Ensemble, we had to listen and work with each other more. This was a great experi-ence. – Frank Lau

Beijing will promote the use of 30,000 electric and hybrid cars, build 100 recharging stations and provide 36,000 rechargers by the end of 2012, People’s Daily reported Monday, citing the Beijing Municipal Science and Technology Commission.

A pilot subsidy plan for individuals’ purchases of new energy vehicles that was prepared by the Beijing Municipal Science and Technology Com-mission and Finance Bureau of Beijing was approved by an experts’ panel on Nov 28.

The plan said the municipal government will give subsidies to individuals who buy new energy vehicles, and set a target at 23,000 electric vehicles and 7,000 hybrid vehicles by the end of 2012. The subsidies were based on the cost of providing battery power to the cars, which is about $450 per kilowatt-hour. The buyer will receive a subsidy of up to $900 for one electric vehicle, or up to $7,500 for one hybrid vehicle.

The capital city will build a transformer substation and a transport man-agement digital system for new energy vehicles.

Beijing will increase government procurement of new energy vehicles, encourage the use of electric vehicles by institutions and enterprises, and encourage fi nancial institutions to provide loans, warrants and other sup-port to promote the purchase of electric vehicles, according to the report.

The Most Wanted items in China1. Apple unveils iPhone 4

Apple Inc unveiled iPhone 4 on the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) on June 7. The new iPhone 4 differs from its predecessors with a higher-resolution screen, longer battery life and thinner design. 2. iPad comes to China

After waiting eight months, Apple fans were fi nally able to get their hands on an iPad in China, as the company offi cially launched its era-defi ning product on the Chinese mainland on Sept 17.3. Call of the vuvuzela

The vuvuzela, a long, plastic trumpet aroused much controversy for its huge noise-making abil-ity, turned out to be an opportunity for Chinese manufacturers despite narrow profi t margins.

About 90 percent of the vuvuzelas blown by soccer fans during the 2010 FIFA World Cup were made in China.4. Samsung unveils world’s 1st 3D

full-HD LED TV Samsung Electronics Co, the world’s largest

this year, the company said.5. Tea time at Starbucks

Think of Starbucks and the chances are you will be thinking of coffee. But be prepared for change. In the future, the assistant will be asking whether you would prefer tea or coffee. The Seat-tle-based business on March 3 offi cially launched its fi rst batch of Chinese tea products in China, the traditional home of tea, in a new attempt to boost business.6. Lamborghini luxury cell phone

Luxury automaker Lamborghini introduced its Spyder luxury cell phone with sapphire crystal screens at a price ranging from $1,780 to 2,811 in Hong Kong in the second half of 2010.

The Lamborghini Spyder cell phone has a 2.2 inches (2.6 centimeter) Sapphire crystal screen, with a 240 by 320 pixel resolution. The Lambo-rghini logo is embossed besides the three-mega pixel camera on the back. 7. McDonald’s fancy dress

Access Agency, a marketing agency soon to be launched, opened temporary fancy McDon-alds restaurants during Fashion Weeks in Lon-don, Milan, New York, Paris, Sydney, and Hong Kong in September and October. At that time,

McDonalds served food in packings with logos of major fashion brands such as Hermers, Gucci and so on. 8. Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG

The new Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG was launched in China market at the Auto China 2010 in Beijing on April 23. To many it embodies per-fection in design with its gullwing doors, wide ra-diator grille and wing-shaped cross fi ns.

The SLS AMG is equipped with a 6.3-liter, V8 engine that can achieve a top speed of 317 km/h. It accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds. 9. China launches offi cial Web map

The State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping (SBSM) offi cially unveiled the free online map service on Oct 21. 10. Nokia navigates for free

Finnish mobile phone maker Nokia’s said on Jan 21 that the company would offer the free navigation service on its Ovi Maps application in 74 countries and regions.

Shin Jung Korean Restaurant 1638 E Colonial DrOrlando, FL 32803(407) 895-7345

The smell of Korean barbeque By Ricky Ly

AT M

A Tas t e o f Home

An average meal here averages about $20 and up, a bit pricey considering that you only get one comple-mentary bowl of korean rice, but its enough to get full. Defi nitely come with friends though as it takes at least 4 people to make the meal worth it.

Our party orders the traditional dishes: soon tofu, a spicy tofu style soup and one of my favorites here at Shin Jung, kimchijigae, a kimchi spicy soup, seafood pancake, bulgogi and kalbi. Our meal is served with tiny dishes of pickled cucumbers, cabbage, bean sprouts, anchovies, and other delectable appetizing items.

Ricky Ly is the foodblogger for TastyChomps.com, the #1 Orlando Food Blog voted Best Food Blog 2010 by the Or-lando Sentinel, and a past food critic for the Central Florida Future newspaper. He recently started EmpireDesigners.com, a website design and marketing fi rm in the Orlando area specializing in small businesses. For more info on how to grow your business online, email [email protected].

The meat sizzled on the iron plates in front of us, smoke rising into the vents above the tiny house. The bulgogi and kalbi marinated meats hissed and crackled as the fl ames fl ickered below the grills. The smell of Korean barbeque is always intoxicating, especially if you are eating at Shin Jung.

Shin Jung Korean restaurants sits on Colonial Drive just west of Bumby Avenue in a little house-like structure with a green roof. The dining area is tiny, maybe less than 40 people can fi t in here at one time. The entire building smelled the wonderful aroma of delicious food cooking.

But the problem about being in a small place with lots of bbq fumes is that the fumes literally stick to your skin, your hair, and your clothes, thus I would recommend showering after your experience at shin jung and also do not wear any fancy clothes or anything that you wouldn’t mind reeking of korean bbq stank.

Amidst the large oak trees and the rustic looking southern Spanish moss at Bloxham and Lewis parks, Experience Asia 2010, the 6th An-nual Asian Festival captivated the hearts of resi-dents of Florida’s capital city, Tallahassee. Hosted by the Asian Coalition of Tallahassee (ACT), this festival has achieved a meteoric rise in just a very short period of time. Although this was what ACT envisioned it to be, none of the organizers expect-ed to achieve this in a very short period of time. It has become the 3rd largest event in Tallahassee attracting participants from out of town and even international performers. An estimated 16,000 people came to the festival this year. Experience Asia has become a marquee event exhibiting the diversity in Asian cultures of China, India, Japan, the Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand, Korea, Paki-stan, and Indonesia. Talented performers provid-ing non–stop cultural performances and demon-strations wowed the crowd keeping them on their feet. Amazing performances include Thai dancers with their intricate hand and feet movement, a va-riety of mid-eastern belly dancing, a wide array of Filipino cultural dances depicting its eastern and western roots, colorful and beautiful Indonesian and Balinese dances, Japanese cultural dances, and an Indian musical group. And that was just on the first stage. Across the street, a variety of martial arts demonstrations were performed, both hard and soft, such as Filipino martial arts, Chi-nese martial Arts, Okinawan martial arts, the Ko-rean Tae Kwon Do, the Japanese Naginata, the Taoist Tai Chi, and Falun Gong. Never was there a slack moment between the two stages.

Of course, the best of Asian cuisines were also sold to satisfy the urge for a variety of Chi-nese, Filipino, Japanese, Thai and Indian foods. Exhibitors and vendors sold a sundry of items: from jewelries and Indian saris, to handmade

Asian arts and crafts while others were painting Chinese calligraphy and making Japanese origa-mi. More than 300 Girl scouts came to learn more about the various countries. And in light of the upcoming election, politicians running for office set up booths to sway voters and promote voter turnout. Crews from ABC-WTXL Channel 27, a major sponsor of the event were busy videotap-ing the festivities while its very own Casanova Nurse served as an emcee at the main stage. At noon, the ceremony opened with a bang. Chi-nese dragon and lion dance performers graced the stage with their acrobatic moves, gyrating with the sound of the drums. This was followed by the beautiful Thai dancers with their peace of-fering ceremony/dance. Opening remarks were delivered by yours truly, Japanese Deputy Con-sul-General Yasushi Sato, Ms Jane Marks, the ACT Honorary Chairperson, and her husband, Mayor John Marks. The Japanese Matsuriza Taiko Drummers, the featured performer from Or-lando followed the ceremony with their awesome performance using an array of drums. The sound of the drums reverberated throughout the parks keeping the energy levels high.

The festival was a blast! Like a magical mo-ment at the park, it lasted as quickly as it started. Experience Asia has changed the landscape of the capital city culturally. Locals are now aware of the growing Asian community and the mixed Asian cultures that exist in the city. Experience Asia has become a place for the whole commu-nity to share in the delight of the local diversity. It has become a staple in the Tallahassee com-munity, and will only get bigger and better in the years to come.
