We are more alike my friends, than we are unalike. After the ribbon cutting we moved on to see this global village where countries and cultures come together in a world without borders. We were fortunate enough to see her Royal Highness Crown Princess Victoria, the princess of Sweden when she was touring the village and her countries exhibit. We saw crayons made from soy and fabrics made from corn. It boasts eight regional kitchens featuring special recipes and dishes typical of many countries of the world, from the tastes of the Orient to spicy Africa, from favorites of Latin America to Europe's continental cuisine.
Live entertainment is also on hand.
The 200-seat theater showcases performers from around the globe, including the famous puppets from Denmark's Tivoli Gardens. They share stories about their homelands and offer their work for sale. We could not resist some of the fascinating objects and did purchase several. The ones loved best by our children were small aucarinas, a musical instrument, that was beautifully hand-painted right in front of our eyes. The last stop in this remarkable village is the Gifts to the World Game that tested us on our knowledge of the experiences in Millennium Village .
