This Weekend Edition offers a personal and immersive look at Asia Fest, an event that transforms Bucharest into a vibrant cross-continental village.
Today we explore how culture becomes tangible, moving beyond distant postcards to something you can taste, hear, and feel. From the delicate art of calligraphy workshops to the unofficial “criticism” of bubble tea, the program highlights the festival’s true intention: sparking curiosity and bridging the gap between East and West.
We also reflect on the “tiny moments of curiosity” that stitch global communities together, whether through a shared recipe or a performance of Japanese drumming. It is a reminder that the world is much closer than it looks on a map, and that the best way to understand another culture is often through an open heart and an open plate.
