All Russian students celebrate first place in the food category. The festival takes place
at UNH gymnasium, so on the back there are some volleyball baskets and
the name of University's team - Chargers. Right behind us are tables where people can taste the food.
That year were 12 countries in the food and display category, so that was the great opportunity to taste something
different. In 2000 this number went up to 16. Enterntainment part is also interesting and starting right after food and display.
Countries represent there national dances and songs and it's the show that continues more than hour. After that goes the part
