Tight on cash and can't jet off? Fear not! This event promises a cultural fusion that might just connect you with someone from your homeland (cue the nostalgic moments with strangers!). It's a prime opportunity to swap recipes, discuss politics, uncover new perspectives, and perhaps even shatter a few illusions. The only catch? Grab a drink, but hey, it's a pub – so at least there's an abundance of great beer waiting for you!
