San Diego has a great Sunday afternoon for you in Balboa Park. The African drumming and dancing is your first stop on your way to the Japanese Friendship Garden, where you can enjoy the classical (could be mixed styles) music of the Spreckles Organ which is outside and is gigantic, historical. A short walk and you will be in a village of cottages with a United Nations (Educational and Gift Store) cottage. I have been delighted with the dances, songs, costumes (and customs!) of the people who are members; they offer drink, food, friendship and share their cultures as you go from country to country. (My niece was the Queen of the Swedish house for a few years).
What I just realized by going to their web site is that they have a House of China. Look up http://www.sdhpr.org for map and events, as each country takes turns demonstrating in the open court on Sunday afternoons. Stands for San Diego House of Public Relations.
