“The first thing one notices is how well organized the event is - starting from the parking. I arrived around noon and expected to have to drive around looking in vain for a spot but there was plenty of parking as well as helpful staff to guide me to a place. Also, while walking through the car park I was struck by variety of license plates ranging from Principality of Monaco, UK, Swiss, Russian, German, Polish, etc.

I immediately knew this was truly going to be an international event. This view was confirmed when I stepped into the main gymnasium and saw the crowds of visitors and the extraordinary diversity of country food booths. It was difficult to choose what to eat but I settled on some delicious authentic lasagna from Chef Aurelio at the Italian Booth – I was not disappointed.

The slightly chilly weather didn’t seem to deter the kids from enjoying the many outdoor activities on hand. I must admit as an Englishman in Hungary who doesn’t speak the language I was delighted to discover the used English book sale organized by the Middle School as a fundraiser for the dog shelter they support. The eclectic collection of used books, DVDs and CDs on offer at bargain prices was impressive. I ending up spending a half hour at the book sale alone and bought several books. Clearly, a lot of hard work went into organizing the festival day and this was rewarded with a successful, and very well attended event.”

"Dear PSA,

I want to thank you for the wonderful international festival on Sunday. I have been at this school for four years and this has been the best one ever. I especially want to thank you for the new activities, such as the skateboard one. The Lab skate shop brought some ramps and set up a little both outside for us to buy some skate gear. This activity was a really big success, their were lots of kids skating. It was a great time to skate with some professional skateboarders and to learn new tricks.

Thank you for this amazing event.
