GIANT PAELLA!!!

Last week was cultural week at the dorm so management organized some interesting activities (sports, concerts, plays, etc.) among them the cooking (and feasting on) of the giant paella that you see on the picture. It's the Spanish way of celebrating something in their community, just like the Filipino tradition of roasting an entire adult pig usually during town festivals and the like. You think this paella is big? Well...it is actually smaller than the one I saw before in Intramuros, Manila during one of the cultural events organized by the Instituto Cervantes. That must have been 1.5 or twice the size of this paella! Oh well, I did not really get to taste this mouth-watering dish because I was too busy with thesis work (read: nerd). Manolo said they were selling it at 50 cents a plate! (photo taken by balate)
