INTERNATIONAL EXPO



It's Tuesday, it's about time to tell you about the last of my Sunday events. My last stop was an International Expo at the university. Here, students from several foreign countries displayed items native to their countries and answered the many questions posed by curious attendees. Many of the students were also dressed in clothing from their native countries. The atmosphere was festive and friendly. The students were more than happy to pose for pictures and appeared delighted to share information about their countries and cultures. As I observed the scene around me, I thought, what a wonderful way to dispel myths and stereotypes about other peoples and cultures!
