International Night

Korean
Indian
The Indian workers with Ana
Indonesian

This is always a fun evening. The kids have "passports" and go around to the different countries. There they sample food and get answers to questions to write in their passports. We have 26 countries represented in our school. Each does not have it's own table unless it is a large percentage of the school. Smaller countries are grouped together by location. The Asian parents put a lot of effort into their tables. The South Asian group's display looked like something you would see at a hotel. It even had a banana tree in the middle of the table! They also had a lot of their food catered. The Japanese table had some beautiful laquered boxes (probably really expensive).

There is also a cultural show. We didn't get to see it all becuase it went until 9:00--much too late for Ana.

Analia had a super time. Because she was wearing an Indian costume, the Indian workers couldn't get enough of her. The Indian table also offered to keep her as a mascot. She did do a little dancing to the music which greatly entertained a few people. She was so wore out that she fell asleep on the way home.

That sounds like my kind of night! The pictures are all so great, and who wouldn't want Ana as their mascot?
