Hello everyone

I’m going to the ICPC World Finals in Baku next month, and I’m planning to bring a few small souvenirs from my city, Homs, known as the capital of the Syrian revolution.

I thought it might be meaningful if others attending also bring something small from their cities or countries, so we can exchange souvenirs, meet in person, and talk about where we’re from.

The idea is simple:

• Bring a small item that represents your city or country

• We meet in Baku and exchange

• We talk, share stories, and learn from each other

The souvenir doesn’t have to be expensive — it could be anything with local or cultural value: a traditional item, a coin, a postcard, or even just something symbolic.

If you're coming to the finals and would like to join this idea, please comment or DM me with your name, city, and university. That way, I can know how many souvenirs to bring and we can plan a time to meet in Baku.

See you in Baku!
