| Global Coffee organized a fundraising dinner for helping China because of its horrible earthquake.
About 18 international students took part in this activity. Of course it included me.
They were making dumplings and a lot of dishes at the beginning.
In the mean time, I was allocating the tables and chairs in the hall.
But certainly, I also cooked.
I used 50 eggs and 30 tomatoes to cook scrabbled tomato and eggs (西红柿炒鸡蛋）for about 70 people!
It was really a tired work. But it looked not bad, didn't it?
About 7 pm, the dinner began.
It seemed that foreigners were quite enjoy the Chinese food and Chinese background music.
During the dinner, there were some performances. Such as singing Chinese song <Beautiful Plain (美丽的草原)>,
playing Chinese traditional musical instrument(古筝用英语怎么说?),
and singing Burmese (缅甸的) song......
However, you may guessed that I would not do nothing but just watch!
I played a Chinese piano song: <Aquatic Dancing (水草舞)>.
In the end of the dinner, John, who was the organizer of this fundraising dinner and the host of this church, let the clients to select the best cooker.
A Chinese student and a Burmese student shared 100 AUS(Australian Dollar, 1AUS=6.6RMB).
And then, John didn't finish. He began to auction a bottle of champagne,
which at last bought by a lady with the price of 100 AUS.
The show bills on the wall were also auctioned.
<中国需要帮助> 75AUS
<捐助晚餐> 65AUS
<谢谢> 60AUS(interesting, isn't it?)
<慈善晚宴> 85AUS
<缅甸需要帮助> ?
? means I didn't know because I was watching two lovely kids playing.
But I remembered that John was often joking: 60 dollars once, 60 dollars twice, 60 dollars twice and a quarter, a third, a half......sold!
Finally, this dinner collected about 2500 AUS totally, which would be sent to China.
