Global Pandemonium
Anyone familiar with the Tower of Babel story? Take 600 hundred junior rowers from around the world. They all want to trade clothes. Most of them don't speak the same language. There's an inexplicable feeling to bartering over a clothing exchange while only being able to point, nod, shake one's head or raise one's eyebrows. By the end, it was impossible to tell which country anyone was from any more. It was glorious chaos; I walked into that crowd wearing a full Canadian uniform. One hour later, I was a Lithuanian-South African-Romanian hybrid. You can't buy that feeling.
