Post Canadian Adventure..SEACAF


I’ve been busy for the past weeks that I didn’t post anything about the Southeast Asian Cultural Arts Festival. The gathering was on Saturday, August 18, 2012.  It was the creation of like-minded martial artist that wanted to share the art – without ego. It was a great turn out. I heard it was the biggest number they have since it started the festival five years ago.
