artments here) quite a bit. BUT, I did manage to get out to check out the Global Village. It's this festival where students from every ethnic background set up a booth to educate people about their country. They bring information, food and drinks, music, and each is supposed to teach a traditional dance.

I still have no idea what it was really all about, because there was no advertising for it, but it was definitely interesting. It was like a mini Renaissance festival, complete with a tavern, fortune telling, pig roast, etc. You never do know what you'll see in this city!
