Last week, my whole grade went on a field trip to the wilkenson center, for the World festival. There, you get a (fake) passport, and there are booths set up all over the place that you visit. They are about different countries/places in the world! In some places,(like Japan, Israel, China) they can write your name in a different language. Usually on a paper, but a lot of people got there names written on their arms! (including me) At one of my favorite booths, the BYU student presenting it showed me how to say “How are you?” in his language!
My group was me, Sadie, Tehya, Nate, Tou, and Erica. We had a lot of fun walking around the booths!
There was one booth(I can’t remember which country) that had a TV on, showing a rugby game. It looked REALLY painful! Also at that booth, they were doing face-painting. Both me and Erica got peace signs on our faces! It was funny.
After we walked around all the booths, we had lunch, and then went back inside to watch some presentations. The first one was some people singing and doing a Flamenco(spelling?) dance, and after them, some people played keltic music. After that, was (i think) the best one there! A chinese dancing group performed AWESOMELY…… but there was also a cool dance done by a 6 time world champion kungfu guy…. plus he got extra points from me cause he let people break boards.
So I said there was keltic music… but there was also keltic dancing. A couple boys from my grade got up and did some funny dancing…(I heard that one of them… christopher? got paid 7 dollars to to it) and then got invited onstage for a competition of who got the loudest cheers. Sorry to Justin and…. idk but I think chris got the loudest cheers!
So anyways… that was the World fest and the Wilkenson center. By all means… It was FUN!
