Fiesta Internacional, Universidad de Belgrano.

So, Friday night was the International night at the Universidad de Belgrano. This was for anyone interested in representing their country, to build a stand with images, foods, and decoration that represents best their country.
The stands were very well set up and decorated, offering various cultural food and drink.

The French for example brought chocolate cake and other typical pastries as well as some French wine. Please note the "Moulin Rouge" themed decoration as well in the picture of the French stand below.

The Colombian stand offered Pan DeBono (a typical colombian type buisuit), Coffee, and Aguardiente (Colombia's very strong national alcohol!) a long with a pretty patriotic decoration.

The Mexican table was decorated with your typical paper maché Red, White and Green decorations and offered up plenty of Chips and Bean dip as well as Tequila and Corona.

And the USA, well we brought typical American pancakes, Mac N' Cheese, and the game of Beer Pong, played with Budwiser.

As you might have notice, yes, Alcohol was present, and you might be asking yourself "wasn't this a University function?" The answer is yes. Welcome to Argentina. In fact the University said "this is the only time you'll be encouraged by the University to bring alcohol to campus."

The party began with everyone sticking to their country's stands, and not really interacting with anyone from a different nationality, until the alcohol started being brought out and the music began, and everyone became quick friends, everyon from Germans, Swedes, Mexicans, Colombians, Italians, Russians, Spaniards, Americans, Italians, Venezuelans, Koreans, Japanese, French, etc... began to dance and interact despite some language barriers! And if it were a competition, the Swedish has the biggest hand in bringing everyone together. As everyone ran out of their alcohol after an hour or so, the Swedes kept providing their Swedish Vodka until the night ended!

The USA and Venezuela putting aside differences! haha

Overall it was a fun night, meeting new friends and learning about other cultures! Wish we could have another one before I left.
