Multicultural Night

 Mulitcultural Night

I was the person that will never ever participate university activities. However, this year, by some special reason. I went to the event called Multicultural night in my university. This could be the most interesting event of the year at the Mount Saint Vincent University. The theme this year was “one world, let's come together”. This was my first year going to it, and I had a BLAST!

The event was in the MPR (Multi-Purpose Room). The students who went to the party looked so different, they all dressed up. Everybody looks gorgeous. Some of them who wear the close can represent their country's culture characteristic. It was grab an eye. The meeting room was very pretty and it was all fine decorated in all the different flags. The dining-table shone with candles, dim light.We sat down with the joyful music.  

It was really cool because there was 4 different food stations set up: Korea, Africa, Mexico, and Mediterranean. Each one was set up like a buffet and had a couple different meal options at each one. The plates they gave you were smaller, so that you could actually taste something from all. It was cool seeing what people ate from different parts of the world and how it differed from how I normally eat. 

After dinner, there were 13 performances from cultures all over the world – including our lovely own east coast culture. There was some signing, dancing (hip-hop & traditional), a motivational speaker & drumming. And then the fun kept going! The after party took place in Vinnie’s, our own campus pub.

With all the violence and war in the world these days, it was really awesome to see everyone together in one big room like a big family and celebrate unity at the Mount. At the Mount we have students from over 60 different countries. And it doesn’t matter what country you’re from, what language you speak or who you are; because when you’re at the Mount: your family & it feels like home. 

At the end , I have to say that it was really worth went to this big fun party.  I see something new and interesting during the busy study period at the university. I am gonna come to this event next year for sure to feel the different feeling.
