Immediately after my morning job fair in Changzhou, I met the family at Dulwich College (Juliana and Joseph's school) for the first annual "International Day". As with all things that Dulwich sponsors, it was a festive, creative, and well orchestrated event. Each nationality with children at Dulwich was invited to set up a booth and display items that shared the food, culture, and history of their home nation. Represented were Korea, Japan, Austrailia, Sweden, Denmark, Israel, Malaysia, Indonesia, and of course the U.S.A.
I learned that the Koreans are the largest contingent at Dulwich followed by the Americans. The whole American delegation sang "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" during the 7th inning stretch of the event. The Dulwich headmaster noted that "baseball is a splendid game, but not quite so lovely as cricket."
The Indonesians did some sultry belly dancing and were gracious enough to pose with my buddy Bill at the end of their performance. Not surprisingly the Indonesian women attracted a significantly larger throng of spectators than the American entertainment.
