“So, you can see front of the flier, there will be twenty booths that will be at this event. So, there will be Taiwanese sausage, spring rolls, dumplings, and you see this, this is a type of milk that I heard is very popular in Belize. They will also sell that, so you see there will be all kinds of things. And apart from the food, there will also be face painting, so that shows a little bit of Taiwanese culture.”
