Second-year Vietnamese resident, Minh Quang Le carried out this task with infectious enthusiasm, rallying volunteers for his many exciting events. Minh packed the year with activities including, multicultural food festivals, casual language classes, international games like Chinese favourite Mahjong, and Suikawari ( a traditional Japanese game of splitting watermelon with a stick while blindfolded). There were plenty of Aussie experiences too, like thong tossing competitions, lamington making, and backyard cricket on G-Lawn. Housies could also sign up for exciting Brisbane excursions to explore their new city.
