[00:00:20.841]Learn about fun facts and games that they play when their kids and things like that.
[00:00:26.009]It's like a bazillion countries that are represented by different
[00:00:29.656]international students that live at UNL and you get to learn
[00:00:33.241]about their countries and you get to eat food and it's awesome.
[00:00:37.528]I love it, I love it.
[00:00:39.842]It's a great opportunity for us to explain and tell our
[00:00:44.161]stories and share our cultures a little bit.
[00:00:46.921]Iraq has a lot of middle eastern people, mostly Arabic speaking people.
[00:00:50.281]Everything just starts with 'hello, how are you?"
[00:00:52.681]So this a space, an environment to create that 'hello, how are you?"
[00:00:58.089]and develop a relationship from there.
[00:01:01.328]LAUGHTER
[00:01:03.097]Every international student they need to know other
[00:01:06.017]international countries and we need all the domestic here
[00:01:09.089]to know what is the international countries and what's happening
[00:01:12.817]in their countries and what's their food and what is the game,
[00:01:15.057]what is their culture, what is their language.

[00:01:24.241]It's food is very delicious as you see.
[00:01:29.041]You don't realize how many different cultures are in Lincoln, Nebraska.

[00:01:39.961]I enjoy this because it's part of me representing my country.
[00:01:43.529]And it's kind of like recognizing people who are not from
[00:01:47.009]American who are on campus and recognizing that they're here.
[00:01:51.505]And come down, over to the right side.
[00:01:55.544]We are really exciting to be at UNL and
