the university turns into a mini-United Nations when hundreds <strong>of</strong> <strong>PKU</strong> students from<br />

over 65 countries will celebrate a day <strong>of</strong> cultural diversity and solidarity.<br />

Starting from 9:00am right in front <strong>of</strong> the Centennial Hall, there will be stage<br />

performances, food sampling, as well as country displays put together by students <strong>of</strong><br />

the respective countries. The theme <strong>of</strong> this year‘s ICF is to broaden one‘s<br />

international horizon, with special focus on each country‘s cultural heritage and<br />

major attractions. Visitors may tour through the display booths which are divided into<br />

different regions, play games, sample special delicacies, have a friendly chat with<br />

the students and collect stamps to redeem special gifts.<br />
