They were divided into six major sections that were styled like pavilions. Students in various countries decorated elaborate booths that encompassed the different characteristics of their national culture. Displayed in the booths were landscape pictures, features arts and crafts, as well as delicious foods that attracted many people. The food sites not had Indian curry, US hot dogs, and Italian snacks such as pizza, but also had free tastings for all to enjoy. In addition, there were hand-paintings costumes to try on, traditional games to play and many other cultural experiences for people to participate in. All of these experiences brought in the charm of international culture for students of all nations to enjoy and archive in photos.
