Murder Mystery Game Night

So me and my best friend have been wanting to do a mystery murder dinner type of night forever now! I have never actually been to one but hear they can be really fun! So we got talking with our other good friends this weekend and after playing the game Clue, decided we actually want to plan one and really go all out for it! We have decided to just have refreshments, not a full blown dinner, and have the murder mystery game start at a specific time. We want to do it 40's and Clue inspired, so everyone who comes has to participate in the dressing up and the actual game. We aren't quite sure how we are going to do the murder mystery game yet, I was hoping to google it and get some ideas, google has the answer for everything! We also want to send out actual invitations, people love getting stuff in the mail! So if anyone has done anything like this before, has any ideas to help us out, or wants to come please let me know!

Cultures

So in my hotel and restaurant management class we are doing a career plan assignment throughout the course of the semester and on career plan module # 2, we had to pick 3 careers we think suited us and also write two paragraphs on why working overseas is beneficial to being the hospitality industry. So it got me thinking about what cultures I want to experience, and let me tell there is a lot! I really want to experience the Latin countries, even though they can be annoying sometimes but if you learn the language and really get to know the culture I believe it becomes easy! My teacher said once in class that we should live overseas for at least 2 years in another country, which I am totally fine with that! I want to live in so many other countries and learn new languages, (I already know the basics of 2), experience different cultures and gain a respect for them. As you know I did live 5 months in Italy and at times it was annoying but I really did love it! I want to go back and really experience more than I did before! I think my mistake was going with people I knew, no offense to them, but I think I would have experienced the culture more if I went on my own. Now I know if I go to other countries that I can do it alone, when I studied abroad I was still pretty shy, and was unsure whether I was confident enough to do something like that without having the support of friends. Now that I did it with friends I believe I can do it by myself and get so much more out of it for me. Anyways here are flags of countries I would love to live in! I thought it would be fun to see who could guess all the flags without peeking on the Internet! I know not a lot of people read this so it will be easy to win! haha and I will make you cookies or something if you guess them all right! I probably make the best chocolate chip cookies ever or you can just get the satisfaction of knowing flags of other countries whatever you want haha.....anyways guess away! I will wait a week to see if anyone guesses...
