Every year CGB has Dia de la Raza. Dia de la Raza is a day where you get together with other people in the school from your home country and show the rest of CGB a little piece of home. The USA is a fairly large part of CGB, second to the Colombians. Each country gets a tent to sell food from and to decorate with the country’s colors and symbols.
The USA tent sported a map of the USA and countless items of red white and blue. Steamers, flags, and shirts are just a few things in our tent that just screamed USA.
Each country picked the food that they thought would best represent their country. These foods are foods no other country has. The USA chose pulled pork, hot dogs, brownies and a few other solely American foods.
My friend and I, when near the USA tent felt it was July 4th and we were back home, ready to light off some fireworks.
I ate a tamale from Mexico which was delicious and a sausage from Argentina, which was also delicious.
Later I had some extra money and bought a hot dog from the USA, and tasted a Colombian snack.
I only tried a few countries foods, but if I was more hungry I would have tried more.

Brownies seem to be very american. We take Brownie mixes to France for the VBS kids because Brownies are so easy to make. But the kids there think they are very unique heavenly.
