Taiwan

Last Wednesday, we had a big annual event on campus called “International Bazaar” which is like a cultural carnival. We had so many different foods, dress, and toys from different countries, such as Taiwan, Japan, Peru, Saudi Arabic, Mexico, and Iraq.

In this event, all the international students had their own country’s table to show the culture, food, holiday, dress, and other thing from their country. My friends and I took care of our Taiwanese table. We put Taiwan’s flag, map, and also made a slide show to present Taiwan to visitors. Also, we put some Taiwanese snakes and traditional tea on our table. Also, I wore a traditional dress to let every one know our dress culture.

My friends and I also tried many traditional foods from different countries, such as Thai-food, Mexican food, Indian food, Vietnamese food, and Japanese food. Also, we saw some cultural dancing, like Peruvian and African dancing, which impressed me.

I really like this event because not only did I try many different yummy cultural foods, but also I’ve learned more knowledge about other countries from international students. Even though all the cultural food, dancing, and dress are different from mine, I respect their cultures a lot, because they’re worthy to respect. It was a such meaningful international event I attended at Fontbonne.

Hello everyone,

My name is Penny, I’m an international student at Fontbonne. I’m glad I got a chance to be a blog writer for Fontbonne, and I feel so honored to post my first article to introduce myself here.

I’m studying to earn a graduate degree in Multidisciplinary Health Communication. This is my first semester being a graduate student and also my first time studying in St. Louis. Everything is so new and interesting to me!

I came from Taiwan, and I arrived St.Louis this year. I decided to go to the USA to earn my graduate degree because Fontbonne has a great program and nice location, which is suitable to me.

Even though it’ s a big challenge for me to do everything only in English, I still enjoy studying with my classmates at Fontbonne, because all my friends and professors are very supportive. I’m looking forward to exploring the USA more, and my dream is just like the slogan of Fontbonne: “LEARN MORE, BE MORE.”

Penny :-)
