Asian Tigers China Sponsor Australian Day Celebration in Shanghai
On January 26, the cosmopolitan city of Shanghai really took a lot of action when the Australian community came together in great spirits to celebrate Australia Day. This annual event, which is very social, full of bonhomie, and characterized by immense cultural exchange, was marked with an exquisite Australia Day BBQ, so nicely put together by Aust Shanghai. With more than 200 guests present, it metamorphosed into an atmosphere of joy and unity that spoke so much for the spirit of Australia.
The Australian Day BBQ has been the diadem in the calendars of Australians who call Shanghai home—an opportunity to connect afresh with the land of their origin even as they savor a slice of this land away from home. This year’s celebrations resonated even further with the generous sponsorship of Asian Tigers China, an international relocation solution company. Their contribution was very instrumental, especially towards the success of this function through the provision of important equipment for the BBQ.
A United Community
The venue of the event was very scenic, right in the heart of Shanghai. That helped attract a really very mixed crowd of Australian expatriates, their families, friends, and members of the broader Shanghai community looking to get involved with the events. The BBQ featured all sorts of traditional Australian dishes, such as juicy grilled meats, fresh salads, and classic desserts, all prepared with great care and authenticity.
The evening was filled with chatter and laughter as guests mingled and enjoyed the fine food laid before them. The BBQ provided the perfect avenue for those fresh from the city to meet fellow Australians and dissolve into the community without any problem. For the long-term, it allowed for reacquaintances with friends and sharing of facts and stories about their homeland.
Asian Tigers China’s Support
It is acknowledged that the success would not have been possible without the sponsorship from Asian Tigers China, which made sure there was a smooth flow of operations. It is with the provision of grills, tables, and seats that the organizers could focus on making the event memorable to the people on the ground. The act is a guarantee, though silent, that Asian Tigers China sponsoring gives out to awaken the spirit of the community and embracing culture-related outreach.
Besides their logistical sponsorship, the presence of Asian Tigers China at the event was an even greater testament to the commitment of the house to Shanghai’s expatriate community. Their staff mingled amongst guests, providing insights on relocation services and building relationships with potential future clients. This not only helped increase the exposure of the company to potential future customers but further gave them credibility as a reliable partner for expatriates in China.
A Day of Joy
The Australia Day BBQ was really more than just a culinary treat. The organizers had arranged activities and entertainment to keep guests of all ages engaged. Games and face painting for kids; raffles and quizzes that tested one’s knowledge of Australian history and culture for the adults. Then there was a live music performance playing to perfection Australian folk and modern hits, really adding to the festive feel of the occasion.
The at times raucous program was also punctuated by speeches from senior members of the Australian community in Shanghai, who thanked Asian Tigers China for its sponsorship. They spoke of the need for such events to provide residents and others with a sense of community and belonging.
Considering the Future
The success of the Australia Day BBQ has set the bar high for the future of the events to be conducted. With continued sponsorship from Asian Tigers China, Aust Shanghai is already working on making next year’s event even more stellar. It was not only a celebration of a very important national day for Australia but also proof of just how strong the expat community in Shanghai can be when united together by organizations that work in support of the same.
As the evening closed out, everyone walked home beaming with smiles and perhaps some memorable moments. This Australia Day BBQ stood for the reason to come together as one community, celebrate shared customs, and help each other in partnerships. And with Asian Tigers China, this is just about to be speculated as one of the most outstanding events that could ever have happened, thus ushering in the New Year rightly.
