Multicultural or "Multi-Culti" Night

Our hall does a very good job at planning events every week for the residents. There are posters in the elevators advertising beach BBQ trips, hotpot dinners, tea receptions, etc - none of which we have ever had time to attend.

However, one of the most popular events each semester is Multicultural night. This is when all the exchange students from each country are invited to set up a booth and bring some native food to share with the visitors. There is a competition for the best booth, and after the food tasting is somewhat of a "talent show" where each country can perform something for the audience.

Some of the highlights were...
Meatballs and Absolut Vodka at the Swedish booth
Homemade apple pies and a Jeopardy game at the USA booth
Homemade Sangria served out of a giant tub for Spain
The French had crepes and wine (of course)

Mark and I had no affiliation with the USA booth, and really didn't even know who was organizing it. So much for staying involved with the homeland.
