We will also go back in time and share our experiences with you on how we have organised other activities such as Southeast Asian Week 2012: Beauty and what these activities were! In ensuring that we secure a campus-wide reach and to provide a space for like-minded individuals who are interested in Southeast East or are just plainly curious, SEASS is an avenue where student initiatives are treasured and collectiveness is strongly encouraged. Thus, we want you! Yes, you fellow Southeast Asian enthusiast so that we are able to create a greater outreach and educate the masses who should know more about this particular region! For an evening of good food and casual conversations, SEASS Welcome Tea will be an enjoyable and relaxing Tuesday to cure our post-Monday Blues. We hope to see all of you on 28th of August!

Join us this month for our annual Southeast Asian Week! This year, the theme is ‘Beauty’ and we will be looking into the meaning of ‘beautiful’ in the region, and what makes Southeast Asia beautiful to others, both within and outside the region. Engage in our language course, dance introductory classes and more, and understand better the fluid concept of beauty that applies to everything that we encounter in our lives as Southeast Asians! Find out more about this week here!: http://www.facebook.com/#!/events/178682448910597/ And don't forget to register for the events here!: http://bit.ly/xwbafO See you there!

Southeast Asian Studies Society (SEASS) is launching a new series of blog posts called Southeast Asia's Tidbits on anything that is related and to do with Southeast Asia. It can be a photo with a short caption or a feature article on something you want to talk about. Nothing formal, as long as you have something that you want to share with other people who are interested in Southeast Asia just like you! Today, we would like to address the issue of tourism. In the video embedded below, Charlie Chaplin and his brother, Sidney Chaplin, visited Java with places such as Bali, Bandung and Surabaya. There, they saw many bare-breasted women, dances they have never seen before, spices which they have yet to taste and the mostly untouched and hidden treasures of culture we will hardly see today. Do you think that tourism or the implicit foreign influence through tourism will destroy the culture of such people, say their customs and traditions? We await for your tidbits on this topic! |
