You may have already seen so much about the international day event that JMSU held in the Redmonds Social Space, but here is my experience of the event.

The night was filled with so much cultural from all continents around the globe. Everyone was so proud to be showing off their country and where they were from. The best thing about this event was definitely the food, there was so much choice from all over the world! Fernery
