The last week was very constructive in terms of reaching the community. I am exposed to a lot of American culture, music and art. I felt like 'aha.' It is a rare oppurtunity to attend such a festival (exhibition, what we call in India) in America.
Thanks to Mrs. Sears, for her time to take me to the tour and for her patience to answer my questions.
I appreciate her knowledge and understanding of North Carolina. She belongs to Ohio. But she has a lot of information about this state.
The festival is about promotion of art and culture. Different styles of art and craft are displayed by the artists in small tents. And the artists enjoyed explaining their work to the visitors. Many forms of dance and music are presented. Few I witnessed are Irish dance, Poca band, Arabian belly dance and southern band. I took loads of pictures and a lot of video for you and few are open today.
I am Vamsi Krishna, trained graduate teacher in Math, working for Kendriya Vidyalaya in India,presently on a 'Fulbright'assignment as an exchange teacher, working at Hill Side New Tech High School, Durham, N.C, USA. I am bringing forth the best of my experiences in the U.S. Wish me time and opportunity.
