Finlandia students joined international students from Michigan Tech University and community members to participate in the annual Parade of Nations on Sept. 20, 2008.

Finlandia's international students represent several countries. Can you tell which ones are pictured here? 
After the parade and lunch at Houghton's Dee Stadium, Kumiko assists young "fishermen" in the Yo-yo Fishing Game.
The game attracts all ages. The object is to "fish" for a balloon "Yo-yo" with a paper hook. Not as easy as it looks!
Michigan Tech Professor Noel Urban watches his daughter, Maya, catch a Yo-yo with patience and skill, while Kumiko observes her technique.
Moto, center, and Toshi offer Japanese green tea and Yo-yo tickets to a customer at the international students' booth.
Nick, right, organized the Yo-yo game as a new Parade of Nations activity this year. Here he is pictured with, from right, Kazuki, Moto, Toshi and Kumiko.
