University Malaysia Terengganu' s International Day of 2015

     International Day is UMT's biggest event of the year where our community of students and friends comes together to celebrate cultural diversity through music, food, and performances. The aim of International Day is to enhance global learning and intercultural sharing while also sharing information about international cultures and to experience different foods of different countries. I believe this event also enhance the bonding between students where they hanged out together just to celebrate this international night with their beloved ones. 

This cute little girl had stolen my heart as she was in saree.

The stall which selling the very famous briyani of Bangladesh.

       There were 10 food stalls from 10 different countries which are Thailand, Australia, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Japan and others. My favourite food stall was Japan food stall where they sold takoyaki. I also did enjoy cultural performance by our UMT students, and i was surprised to watch the awesome lion dance that performed on International Day's night which was really very unexpected. Besides that, I had a chance to watch and support my friend's dance which represents my very own Indian cultural dance.
