Stands of the individual countries offered a medley characterising the countries. At the stands people tasted various kinds of bread, bonbons, and sausages. Children in folk costumes handed out stickers, maps, leaflets, balloons, magazines, and also shells. One of the most visisted stands was Japanese stand. Young women and men taught their peers to make up origami from coloured pieces of paper. So we are a step further. We dusted up forgotten knowledge of geography or we acquired completely new one. Also this is a way to friendship, understanding, and strengthening of the atmosphere of this spectacular fire brigade event.
