SFU Gung Haggis Fat Choy Festival

– the university student version of mixing Scottish and Chinese traditions in untraditional ways

Back on Robbie Burns Day, January 25th, Simon Fraser University
Recreation Department celebrated the 2nd annual SFU Gung Haggis Fat
Choy Festival.

My role was to be the play by play commentator for the dragon boat race finals.
