My school had an International day when everyone was encouraged to dress up in their traditional cultural clothing to represent their home countries. For lunch, everyone brought a dish from their country, and we got to try foods from all over the world. It was so crowded, though; it was hard to even reach the booths. I brought chocolate chip cookies--I had to bake them all by myself since my family was skiing in Utah. After lunch,w e watched an international fashion show and some dances and acts performed by kids from other countries. I learned a lot about the diverse backgrounds of the kids I go to school with every day.
Here are some pictures of some of the amazing costumes and where they're from:

Turkey:
An African country, maybe Somalia? I can't remember = P
