The fair consisted of approximately 40 nationalities representing their country with delectable and traditional cuisines, entertaining mini games, and even a unique opportunity to try on traditional clothes for a splendid opportunity to totally get assimilated into the distinct and likable nation’s taste.

More specifically, in this year’s International Fair, the performance of the Greengates School South Koreans was remarkably highlighted through the astonishing efforts both in their booth and out on stage with their mesmerizing K-POP performance.
