One of the biggest events that celebrates this is the Olympics, many countries and cultures taking part in a harmonious gathering.  We held our own Chopsticks an Rice Bubble Olympics.  Before competing we discussed the meaning behind the Olympic Flame, Olympic Rings as well as the Olympic Oath and Creed. We then stood, held our hearts in our hands and read the oath:

We swear that we will take part in these Olympic Games in the true spirit of sportsmanship and that we will respect and abide by the rules which govern them for the glory of the sport and the honour of our country.

Let the games begin: Rice Bubble Hurdles, Rice Bubble Archery, Rice Bubble Tennis, Rice Bubble Shot put, Rice Bubble Rugby and Rice Bubble Passitball.
