Internasjonal dag

So yesterday was the glorious international day, where internat'l students studying at the høgskolen could set up a table to display a little bit about their country.  Naturally I and all the other Americans set up an America table.  This table included, a glorious flag (hand drawn), a map of the U.S. with various pictures from Chenoa's travels, chocolate chip cookies, special-K bars, a showing of Tim Lincecum (ace pitcher for the San Francisco Giants) as he pitched his first full game and a shut-out at that (last september 13), and a description of the events in professional rodeo (as well as some pictures; one of me, and it took everybody a while to accept that it was me). We wore our typical American clothes.  Most of them wore jeans with college sweatshirts or tshirts, and I wore a Giants shirt and hat, and I lent Teddi my cool old nylon Giants jersey shirt.   

We also set up a computer playing a bunch of songs that said anything about America.  In this case I think we would've had a much better playlist if country had been allowed (or on any of our computers).  We made all of the goods on Tuesday night.  The chocolate chips were especially fun, since there were no chocolate chips here.  So I ended up chopping up three chocolate bars into pretty small pieces.  

Maybe chocolate chunk woulda been a better name, since it exists as well, but chip was more "tradisjonal".  There were quite a few tables out: the Spaniards (there's a bunch of em) had a table and were showing youtube videos of people dancing, the Slovakians, Polanders, the one Lithuanian, Nepalese, Zimbabwians, Russians, and oh so many more.  Two from Nepal danced towards the end, and it was really fun to watch them; they looked like they were having a good time!
