Now let’s talk from the viewpoint of one of the organizers. Firstly I felt really proud and happy that this year I asked for the helped from all the International students and everybody was willing to participate. My motive was to let all the International students get a good connections and contacts from the students from other departments so they can always help each other when ones needed something, secondly I was surprised to see how the students from 4 teams harmonious with their tea and I was amazed to see how our athlete practise every evening at the sport complex to win the match.
