Thomas CP #6

For our final cultural workshop, the CIES finished their projects and they held their cultural fair in the conference room on the first floor. As a spectator, I floated around and read each cultural fact that the students listed for their country. I saw a lot of information for different countries such as Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Ireland, India, etc. It was a very interesting experience because I learned a lot of different facts, such as the fact that the north of Saudi Arabia is mountainous and snows compared to the arid south and that the majority of Indians speak Hindi regardless of their religion. These type of experiences help open our eyes to foreign cultures and the CIES students get to be able to test their public speaking skills on a topic that they know so much about. Six of us met up with Kyle at the end of the event and we each gave our opinions of the event and he thanked us for coming out.
