The Culture Exchange Day, joint IATSS Forum and MIEF (Mie International Exchange Foundation) event was held at Suzuka Media Park (in Sumiyoshi-cho, Suzuka-city) on October 18th,

  Although there was a great risk in holding the event in public, due to the outbreak of the H1N1 Flu in Suzuka, we highly appreciate all of you involved in the activity, for giving us much support to make this event successful.
  Fortunately, the weather on the day was clear and sunny. The IATSS Forum participants and CIRs from MIEF presented a unique performance which greatly caught audiencefs attention. They projected a feeling of enthusiasm on their performance.
  Although there was not much time for audience to directly interact with IATSS Forum participants and CIRs due to the time constraint, we are sure that everyone enjoyed being at the event.

	The event was begun with this "unique or weird!?" performance
Self-introduction with their dance performance 23 performers from 14 countries
	The theme of the skit was "the world superstitions"
Each country booth has their own characteristics. This looks like a pushcart venderc!
	Charity auction! One of the only items in the world!?
The closing of the event was dance performance again. Look at this pose! "Hey, look at me, everyone!!"
We are the world!
