  • Наш Общий Праздник Our Common Holiday
    № 4 АПРЕЛЬ 2006 APRIL ПОЧТОВЫЙ ЯЩИК / POST BOX Наш общий праздник Год назад мы с женой и детьми впервые и во многом случайно попали на тор- жества по случаю международного весеннего праздника Новруз в московских Лужниках. Тогда на нас произвели неизгладимое впечатление красочность и неподдельная искренность нового для нас праздничного действа. В нынешнем году мы уже ждали наступления Новруза, дети замучили нас про- сьбами непременно еще раз сходить в Лужники на оригинальное восточное тор- жество. Придя, обратили внимание, что народу на этот раз было еще больше, а праздник – еще ярче. Особенно нам понравились украшения туркменского павиль- она. А угощения на туркменском дастархане были удивительно вкусными. Очень хорошо, что благодаря усилиям Департамента межрегионального сотрудничества, национальной политики и связей с религиозными организация- ми правительства Москвы при участии иностранных посольств и представи- тельств российских регионов, а также национальных общественных объединений города Москвы это торжество органично вписалось в жизнь мегаполиса. Теперь уже с полным правом можно говорить о появлении новой устойчивой традиции в жизни москвичей. Новруз стал настоящим праздником мира и доб- рососедства. Он помогает нам всем лучше узнавать, а значит, и понимать друг друга. Семья НИКОЛАЕВЫХ Москва Our common holiday A year ago my wife, children and me for the first time by chance got on the cele- brations on the occasion of the international spring holiday Novruz in Moscow Luzhniki. The beauty and undissembled sincerity of the festivity produced indeli- ble impression upon us. This year we were waiting for Novruz holiday, children were pleading us to visit Luzhniki by no means and see original orient celebration. We draw attention that this time there were much more people and the holiday was brighter.

The major types can be roughly defined as: East Asian with its origins in Imperial China and now encompassing modern Japan and the Korean peninsula; Southeast Asian which encompasses Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam, Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines; South Asian states that are made up of India, Burma, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Pakistan as well as several other countries in this region of the Vietnamese meal, in Asian culture food often serves as the centerpiece of social continent; Central Asian and Middle gatherings Eastern. Terminology "Asian cuisine" most often refers to East Asian cuisine (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean), Southeast Asian cuisine and South Asian cuisine. In much of Asia, the term does not include the area's native cuisines. For example, in Hong Kong and mainland China, Asian cuisine is a general umbrella term for Japanese cuisine, Korean cuisine, Filipino cuisine, Thai cuisine, Vietnamese cuisine, Malaysian and Singaporean cuisine, and Indonesian cuisine; but Chinese cuisine and Indian cuisine are excluded. The term Asian cuisine might also be used to Indonesian cuisine address the eating establishments that offer a wide array of Asian dishes without rigid cuisine boundaries; such as selling satay, gyoza or lumpia for an appetizer, som tam, rojak or gado-gado for salad, offering chicken teriyaki, nasi goreng or beef rendang as the main course, tom yam and laksa as soup, and cendol or ogura ice for dessert.
