Just this past Friday, my school hosted an International Dinner. Each country that is represented in the school had a table full of flags, memorabilia, and food to represent the country well. As many of you might have expected, I contributed an American classic… MAC-N-CHEESE! The Italians contributed lots of yummy pasta and ice cream, while the Koreans brought tons of sushi (making Brad extremely happy), and the group from the Philippines roasted a pig! After eating and socializing for a while, we also had contests to see who had lived in the most countries and continents, which family had the most birth places, etc. Then each country had to sing their national anthem and share an interesting fact. We thought about singing a little medley of songs like “God Bless America” and “Born in the USA,” but instead we just stuck to “Take Me Out to the Ball Game.” Unfortunately, no else thought it was as funny as we did. This map was hanging to show the countries that were there. It was so fascinating seeing different cultures’ traditional dress, and learning interesting/random facts about their flags or country. For example, I learned that in Singapore there is no chewing gum, and if you are caught chewing any you are fined. The evening was full of great food, lots of laughter, and wonderful fellowship!
