sushi with lassi and hummus

I have gone to ISS for a very long time. If anybody knows what ISs stands for or what it should stand for then its me: commitment, diversity and openmindedness. these should be the true values of ISS society.

Sadly enough some recent people at the top of things messed this special spirit up a bit, but its slowly resurfacing. and even it the big guys do bullshit, there are always plenty of parents, kids and teachers willing to fight for their right to put in energy to make ISS life more enriching.

one very special event is the multicultural evening. In the past years it always was a performance paired with some food at the end of it. this year both the events got split up, and today was the food part. I helped in between piano classes with setting up, an d later of course with eating :) "julia you are a stomach!" was one of Blandine's remarks a couple of days ago. o:) yes I do eat a lot but its not that bad. I just adore food. especially indian food nad i havent had that in some time. so of course i raided the indian table as soon as i got there. I had mango lassi, and the infamous rice that had kept me alive, as well as the bread and chickpeas and samosas...it was all soooooo good. but i also had sushi, thai, hummus, chocolate "kisses", and at the end, a shotglass of red whine. and of course a handfull of henna. no multicultural evening without that.

I always love these events, you really notice whats in such a school like ours. a few parents bringing in some dish, setting up some tables and putting effort in decorations, and voila! a great evening, and one of the yearly recurring events i will always remember as being part of ISS.
