Some people on the stage are wearing conical hats made out of paper. It’s not kids who wear the funny hats, but students from Germany. They sang a song from their country of origin, which is certainly not a birthday song.
Also coming on stage are students from France, Holland, Korea, Canada, Austria and Norway. They are all UGM new students who are just accepted at the Faculty of Economics and Business. Mingling with other new students, they participate in the arts and cultural performance event that is presented in a cultural events, Friday (16/9).
