International Culture Festival and Celebration

April, 8^th 2016 is the most awaited day for the student from English Departement of Widya Mandala Catholic University. Why? Because in that day we are going to hold an event that name “International Culture Festival and Celebration” . Yayyy!!! I’m really happy for the first I heard about this event, because this event is the first event that hold in our faculty. The MC's were Gisel from second semester and William from fourth semester. Not only the student from English Departement but also from high school students around Surabaya attended this event. This event are attended by 7 countries. That are France, China, Belarus, Indonesia, Spain, Netherlands, and Germany.

They were came to give an presentation about their country. The first presentation was from China, they talked about the history of The Haka and taught us about how to write calligraphy in China. It’s really fun to know how to write a calligraphy. The second presentation was from France, the presentator taught us about how to speak in France like how to introduce ourself, spelling the language and so on. Then, for the third presentation Belarus came to the stage to give a presentation and they showed us about their country through some videos. Belarus is a beautiful country in the Eastern Europe, I hope that I can go there someday haha. Spain was came to the stage for the forth presentation, Domingo himself gave us some videos about the carnaval and the city of Spain. Not only the presentation, Domingo friends who can dance salsa was taught us about the basic of salsa dance. Its so much fun! The fifth representative was from Indonesia itself, they described about our traditional food, that is pecel! My favourite food! and finally for the sixth and seventh presentation, it’s the turn for Germany and Netherlands. They had an interactive talk with the audiences, there were some games and gifts were distributed.

 Overall, this event were pretty awesome! I like this event because from this event we can know more knowledges about other countries and our own country. I have always wanted to learn about other country languages but it's little bit difficult for me. I hope that we can hold this event every year.
