Описание к видео Nicaragua envoy attends schoolteacher’s event in New Taipei

A schoolteacher held a cultural event on Sunday that brought traditional Nicaraguan food and classical Chinese music to New Taipei. This cozy, neighborhood event was attended by Nicaragua''s top envoy to Taiwan: Ambassador Mirna Mariela Rivera Andino, who was very thankful for a taste of home.

The Nicaraguan ambassador takes a bite and breaks into a smile. In Taiwan, it''s not easy finding food that tastes like the real thing back home.

This cultural exchange event was organized by elementary school teacher Regina Yao, who arranged a performance by her school''s Chinese music ensemble. Yao said she hopes the event will bring Taiwan and Nicaragua closer.

If you visit Nicaragua you will love every aspect of it. But our traditional cuisine is definitely the one that takes the prize. Thanks to the efforts of people like Ms. Regina Yao today we get to have a piece of our country in Taiwan.

Yao, the organizer of the event, fell in love with Nicaragua after a trip to the country in January 2019. Half a year after her trip, she returned to Nicaragua with the goal of introducing the cuisine of Taiwan. She stayed for 10 months before returning to Taiwan due to the pandemic. Now she teaches at an elementary school.

What I want is to be able to initiate arts and cultural exchanges between Nicaragua and Taiwan, using our traditional music. There''ll also be Nicaraguan children performing music and dances from their country. So these two traditions can meet head to head, while we enjoy some local treats. I think we are probably pioneers for events like this in Taiwan.

The event was attended by Nicaragua''s ambassador, as well as the head of the Central America Trade Office, Augusto Liao, and New Taipei Councilor Lo Wen-chung. The officials enjoyed a day on the grass with music in the backdrop and Nicaraguan food to sample al fresco.
