The primary activites consist of Bulgarian-food study breaks, celebrations of Bulgarian historical events, contacts with Bulgarian politicians and businesses (specifically for finding summer employment/internships in Bulgaria and Bulgarian organizations across The World). Recently (since last year) the club extended its activites to: acting as information central for Bulgarians and other people interested in Bulgarian culture across the United States, organizing friendly sport events, exchanging national and all other sorts of music among members, sharing of fine art artifacts and skills and so forth. We also have a group of members who are happy to delve into computer and math topics like Linux, AI and the like. In addition to that, quite some members of the club are seriously involved in Ballroom dancing and Latin-American dancing, which gives a sweet flavour to our little community. Our fine-print: There is no membership fee and no requirements of any sort. Everyone is very welcome.     Harvard Graduate School Canadian Club     Spiro Karigiannis (HGSCC Email coordinator) hgscc@hcs.harvard.edu     The Harvard Graduate School Canadian Club is a group of (mostly) Canadians who like to get together, have fun, and keep tabs on things back home.

Modern kendo is the direct descendant of the schools of sword-fighting techniques in which the samurai were trained, and is one of Japan's most popular sports, with several million practitioners. The goal of kendo is not only to develop the physical ability to fight, but also the moral and spiritual aspects of rigorous and disciplined training. All are welcome to join -- we will provide the necessary bamboo swords and armor. No previous martial arts experience is necessary. This year, the HRKC will be instructed by Mr. Junji Himeno (7th dan) a Visiting Scholar with the Reischauer Institute for Japanese Studies, one of only a few high-ranking sensei in the US. As part of the HRKC's commitment to fostering relations in the collegiate kendo community, we host the only intercollegiate kendo tournament in North America. On the cultural side, the HRKC sponsors an annual exchange program to train with the kendo team of Keio University, one of the premier universities in Japan -- the popularity of kendo has made it a unique microcosm of Japanese culture. Additionally, this year we will be hosting a special practice and lecture with former Prime Minister of Japan, Mr. Ryutaro Hashimoto. Come join us!     Taiwanese Cultural Society     Henry Hsieh taiwan@hcs.harvard.edu     Taiwanese Cultural Society (TCS) is an undergraduate student organization at Harvard University dedicated to promoting the culture and heritage of Taiwan and Taiwanese-Americans.
