I was a part of the Indian contingent, and since I neither cooking nor dancing experience, I was in charge of decorations ... Here are some pictures of the Indian stand ...





The menu consisted of 10 items ...




We had over 18 countries participating ...

Korea ...



Italy ...



Scandinavia ...



Argentina and Peru ...






China ...



And even Texas!! ...




I liked the idea of one stall ... it had a theme of "Peace", and was comprised of a team of Palestineans and Israelis ...




And then came the time for the cultural events for the day ...

Team Japan came up with a VERY entertaining Sumo wrestling match! ...




The Koreans had a Taekwondo exhibition ...



And the Indians had a Bharatnatyam and Bhangra performance, followed by a Dandia session where we taught all the Non-Indians how to dance ...







Overall a very fun experience! ...
