weekend full of international flair

We’ve had yet another busy start for the weekend – first the kids school had the International Day. It started with a parade of well over 1000 children showing the national costumes or the colours of their country. Pretty impressive – I just loved the Korean girls with the beautiful dresses and was thinking that I’d love to have one too!

Different countries had organised for other kids dance shows and other entertainment, and parents were working on country booths telling about their countries, displaying typical items and having little food tasters and activities. Of course this is where our Angry Birds game also was used, representing the image of the “modern day ” Finland. Some countries, like China had even a chef cutting Peking duck – it was just amazing. Decor-wise the good old Union Jack still looks so cute to me – I just love all things Union Jack. That said, enjoy the colourful images of this wonderful International Day!

Hello Finland – the country of Nokia, Marimekko, Andry Birds and Moomin Troll
