Estonia: America Night

The student entertainment organization in Tartu plans culture nights where students from different countries give a presentation and serve food from their countries. Last Thursday was AMERICA night. We gave a presentation about our wonderful country and then we served grill cheese, tomato soup, and frech fries. How much more American can you get than that. Everyone was surprised that we eat such greasy foods, but that's America for you. We also played popular music throughout the night. Later in the evening, some of the Americans taught the international students how to play a popular drinking game called "Beer Pong." It was fun to watch the international students and see their reactions to our culture. It was a very successful night. There were about 100 international students that came to enjoy the evening. It was a great opportunity for us to show all of the international students what America is like. We have heard so many negative things about America since we have been here and America night was our chance to show America in a positive light. Needless to say, I think we convinced all of the international students to come visit America someday!
