How should one dress if asked to represent one's heritage by wearing the kilt at a multicultural event outside Britain?

What would you wear?

I am planning on going to school this year in Hong Kong for two semesters. All exchange students are asked to bring their "national costumes for cultural activities." As a Canadian, I have no such thing but we are encouraged to wear the attire of our forebears, therefor it would be the kilt for me

Has anyone got any experience with international events that call for national attire? A mitigating factor in my case is that this will be at a university, but I'm interested in any and all past events the rabble could share.

And if I'm bringing a kilt with me, I may just have to find a Burns Supper to attend. I see that the Hong Kong Highlanders do one that is open to non-members. The Hong Kong St. Andrew's Society also puts one on, but one needs to be a member...
