Every year spring comes, and the lions roar. After the harsh winter weather and the brutal mid-term exams comes the excitement of Hanyang University’s annual festival, the Rachios Fiesta. From the 17th to the 20th of May, the entire campus came to life, and was vivid with youth, passion, talent, creative ideas, performances and events.
It all started late afternoon Wednesday. By 5pm, the open air theater was crowded and it was impossible to find an empty seat, let alone set foot on the grounds. The eve celebration started with the rooting ceremony of Hanyang University. The HYU rooters conquered the stage, making it known to the entire school that the Rachios Fiesta started. The performances of Girl’s Generation successfully put Hanyangians in the mood to enjoy and celebrate.
While these special events and performances were prepared for the festival, there were other interactive activities prepared by student bodies on the Culture Road, and Bar Road. The Bar Road which extended all the way from the parking lot next to the Graduate School Building and all the way to the Humanities Building was opened in late afternoons, welcoming guests to home-made snacks and meals, with varieties of liquor. Each department and major prepared their bars to come together with classmates, graduates, and even professors. Some of the bars such as that of Sokna, which is one of the bands of HYU, performed in their bars.
During these four days, students came to school, attended class, and afterwards spread throughout the campus interacting in games and events prepared by clubs and departments. With the evening breeze, they moved on to enjoy performances or went to the Bar Road, to participate and enjoy some drinks with their friends.
