It is hoped to communicate the concept of respecting multiculture to transform Taichung into an international friendly city.The Social Affairs Bureau expressed that the National Day of Indonesia on August 17 annually is also its Memorial Day of independence. People will hold all sorts of contests to celebrate. Today, the Social Affairs Bureau also sponsored a multicultural community campaign on the National Day of Indonesia. There were featured Southeast Asian toys’ challenges, Indonesia snacks ring toss game, and more. All participants enjoyed themselves very much.
