(UPDATE 11/25 - I replaced the video below with a version of the entire song. A much better version.)
Today was "Worldfest" at ZIS ("Zurich International School" is where the kids go to school.) It's an annual event that showcases the school's cultural diversity. Families from all over the world attend the school, so dozens of countries were represented. Booths were set up all over showcasing different foods from all the countries, so you got to walk around and sample different cuisines. (My favorite was the "jambon" from Spain. Ham sliced right off the leg.) Anyway, there was also entertainment, featuring several groups of kids performing dances and songs. Ben and his friends formed a "boy band" group based off of the group ONE DIRECTION. Ben's band was called "ZIS Direction" and you can check them out performing below. They did the song "What Makes You Beautiful," and they actually sang along with it (not just lip-syncing.) They spent about 2 weeks rehearsing the moves and learning the lyrics, and as you can see below they did great.

Anyway, here are some of the highlights. As Jenny and I go through the hustle and bustle of every day life we sometimes forget what an international experience our kids are getting over here. When you deal with it day after day you start to become blind to it almost. Days like today are a good reminder for all of us just how unique this whole experience is.
