Triangle Transit had a booth at the International Festival at the Convention Centre in downtown Raleigh. Paul had the Friday night shift so I accompanied him.
Although our booth was stuck in a dark corner with no visitors, it gave us a chance to explore the different cultural stands.
We also enjoyed the opportunity to try lots of different foreign foods. Paul's favourites were the Kenyan samosas and Turkish coffee (above). We also tried Greek gyros, Italian stuffed rice balls and Ethiopian coffee. We were too stuffed to try anything else, although the Lebanese hummus and tabouli looked amazing.
Some of the exhibits we enjoyed were traditional Tanzanian jewelry, Russian dolls, Japanese manga characters, and a traditional Italian wedding chapel, complete with Friar.
As bad as the Triangle Transit booth's location was, it gave us a good view of the main stage, meaning we got to see most of the national dances and musical performances.
Also, Happy Birthday Mum!
