Students from a total of 24 countries, including Russia, Thailand, and South Africa, were invited to bring their recipes. They dished up homemade delicacies and drinks on the stalls, greeting guests with delicious fragrances.

During the feast, student representatives dressed in traditional costumes gave visitors a feast for the senses with spectacular performances, among which the folk dance from Bangladesh was so impressive that the host and audience eventually joined in the dancing.
