an exciting assignment

I went for my advance cultural studies class today, in which the very young, rugged and handsome english professor (i am so lucky to have good looking lectureres this semester!!!) gave out two assignments. One was a presentation and one more is a paper. Pasal paper tu, ai tak mo citer banyak, because, tho it is quite exciting for me (cos I would get to incorporate a theory I plan to use and at the same time do some content analysis, which hopefully could be utilised for my thesis). What I am excited about it the presentation.

Since I won't be presenting (because the presentation slot is just a few days before my due date, my lovely prof told me that i can just compile the things which I plan to present in something like a protfolio, and I would be assessed based on that. Since it would be 30% of the assessment, agak penting jugaklah kan. The assignment is on: a report on the impact of globalising processes on a specific aspect of life and culture in Vienna.

He told us to be creative, and suggested that maybe we could do something on music or food. So, i thought long and hard about it (oklah..not that long pon) and was thinking of doing about food. I must admit that I was somewhat inspired by Kayla's documentation of Nasi Lemak (see here) and how she mapped it out. However, since nasi lemak is not sold anywhere here for the lack of Malaysian restaurants, I thought that I would do something on Chai Tea and how it has been globalised!!!!

So, I would first need to cari history of the chai tea, cara tradisional nak buat and maybe compile some pictures. Then come the exciting part! Sampling chai tea all over Wien. hehe. And observe how it is made. Oohh...saya sangat excited. Cuma sekarang, nak kena start cari cafes yang menjual chai tea lah kan.

If, that proof to be difficult, I was thinking of doing something about chinese food, or to be more specific, noodles. Tapi I thought that it would be quite hard to pinpoint that noodles came from china (sebab ada yang cakap it originated from Spain and Italy). Hmm...if not, then maybe Tom Yam, because tu memang sah sah dari Thailand.

Tapi, my first choice would still be chai. hmm...mungkin from now on, every Sunday I must make sure I go out to search for Chai Teas. hehe. *matilah alasan nak keluar minum2*

Apa pendapat uols??
