One of the highlights of the AIPES program is Country Night, an evening that includes Czech music and dancing, a Czech dinner that the students claim far exceeds dorm food, presentations by students about their country and lots of alcohol (surprise, surprise). Most of the presentations included a song or dance from the country, often in a national costume, such as (top to bottom): Latvia, Kyrgyzstand, Romania and Georgia.
Wendy did an excellent job as master of ceremonies:
Kirsten, who was the audio master, brought Richard, her charming fiance, who is from Northern Ireland and has been working in Romania while he finishes is PhD.
And, finally, the alcohol report: The Moldovan and Georgian wines are excellent. The hard liquors vary from not-so-bad to people-drink-this-stuff-on-purpose? In any case, there was a lot of it.
I can't decide if I like the photos of the national costumes or the trip to the Decorative Arts Museum more ... I hope you are having as good a time as it sounds like you are!
