FREER & SACKLER's popular ASIA AFTER DARK series returned this past Thursday with a night of entertainment (and enchantment) inspired by the collection of tales in One Thousand and One Nights. The suggested attire was Styles of North Africa and South and West Asia, and the audience complied while dancing to Arab beats by DJ Turbo Tabla, taking in a belly-dance performance by Barakaat Middle Eastern Dance Company, and partaking in art activities, as well as traditional cuisine and enticing cocktails, and was followed by an after party @ L2 Lounge in Georgetown. Now, enjoy the photos:

Looks like it was a really fun get together, great photos. But you've got to be kidding me, slanted eye stickers (or whatever those are)?!
