Tohoku Univeristy International Festival

Today, the local student organization held an international festival on the baseball field near my dorm. Basicly the area was covered by small tents selling all kinds of foods from all around the world. They had also put up a stage for performancers, and we had the joy to watch everything from Vietnamese bamboo dance to russian folk dances and japanese noo theatre.

The food was varying, in both taste and amount. Turkish kebeb-thing was good, while iranian fried chicken was still raw. German sausages tasted like german sausages.

I guess the most amusing thing was to see people from all around the world to enjoy the festival together. The iranian booth was proclaiming on large poster that 'IRAN land of love and peace'.
There was also stand from Myanmar. All in all... intresting thign to witness. Next week-end is halloween and we have something intresting planned for the costume competition. We'll see how our group will do... or won't do. We might be bit too introverts to win the dress competition but... For sure, it'll be intresting.
