Sunflower & Bianca: when
the music starts playing,
everybody has to move
around in the hall, when
the music stops after 10
sec, you have to look for
someone you don‘t know
and talk to him/ her for 3
minutes. We will do 2
rounds. Off we go, music!



My teacher Siliva Rosa
from Argentina told us
many interesting aspects
about her country – from
the history, culture till the
financial crisis.
At the end she
prepared a few
presents for those
who paid
attention! A very
encouraging teacher!
with a lot of love we prepared tones of delicous
vegetarian food for our lovely guests.
after a good meal we listened to the sounds of heaven
from Chile – an absolutely breathtaking concert with
very charming latin music!
We were 80 people and
had 47 prizes! So, almost
everyone could win
something. We had
wonderful prizes like yoga
coupons, Asian shop
coupons, Japanese
crokeries, Chinese fine art
these & that, Thai massage
coupons…etc. Everybody
was so excited and had to
scream all the way
through!
After a little break
we had the next
highlight of the
event – although it
was only 6 min,
someone said to me,
„I had to hold my
breathe throughout
the dance“.
So I guess you could
image what it was
like.
If you like to have a taste of the song they
danced, click on the speaker here!
Men that dance
are lucky, men
that dance on our
event are even
luckier because in
the Salsa rueda
the men could
dance with
different ladies
„officially“! And
of course the
other way around
as well! =D
On the stage it was
exciting, behind the
stage it was not less
interesting. Come
with me to the
backstage!
The prepration started
2 months before the
event.
Several posters hung in town
& uni
Conference
room
David, our
sound expert
Nearly 7 years ago I
learnt German in this
school –
Sprachenkolleg. At
that time I could
hardly formulate a
correct sentence in
German. Now I stood
on the stage to speak
(still with lots of
mistakes)– how time
can change things!?
Zhuo & baby, both were busy =D
Mrs Garcia is one of my
teachers for Spanish,
her several Spanish
dance performances at
the uni inspired me to
follow the steps of
different dances in the
past years.
With great honour she
danced for & with us
this year at our event.
Bianca came all the way
from Basel to talk about
our programme with
me & to try out different
desserts that we could
sell.
She was my ex-boss
when I used to write an
online column for a
newspaper. Now we‘ve
become very good
friends. She is now a
freelance journalist &
student in Sociology.
David also
came to select
music with
me.
This event would be
impossible with Zhuo, she
is an important woman
behind the stage. She
helped me last year & this
year. With 8 months
pregnancy she drove me
around in town, she came
to cook different things
that we could sell. On the
day of the event she (&
baby in belly) were
working from 10-19! I
didn‘t dare to tell her
husband that I exhausted
her so much!
Another important
woman behind me is
called „A flower on a
field in front of a
mountain“ – Hana
Yamanda. She also
helped in both events,
last year & this year. In
both events she showed
us her art of books.
We made our own
beautiful & unique
guestbook for this
unique memory.
It rained so
heavily on the
day we went to
buy the papers.
Since we spent too much money in decoration last year,
we used our hands & love to make some origamis for
the table decoration. It was a lot of work for one single
flower! But we made it!
Tomas
from
Chile
Cati from Chile, my KungFu friend,
teaches us to do origami cos her mom is
an origami expert!
Yaara from
Israel was so
happy to have
made the first
flower!
One day before the event, all the honorable guests
arrived at the Black Forest from thousands miles away.
Thomas &
Caro drove a
thousand
km to come!
The whole family Tang from
Basel also came to support!
Honorable guests from Lake
of Constance
Erik came all the way from
Berlin!! He was my blog reader
once upon a time but now we are
friends!
4 honorable guests came from Hong
Kong. Sister Suki & Sam, Sam‘s prince
& a friend of Suki – Lisa.
One day before the event Bianca broke 3 fingers and was so afraid
that she could not go on stage. But the excitement exceeded the
pain! She said, „it (the excitement) is pure alcohol!“
Driving with one hand! The Germans
are good with cars!
Sunflower left home
without brushing her
teeth! But she brought
the toothbrush along!

Since no one had enough from our
concert, we‘ve decided to do our
own professional record!
How much? Only 10 euros!
(apart from the production cost, 50%
of the revenue goes directly to the
orphanage in Cambodia).
Contact us if you would like to order
one. We will only produce as many
as required! Wherever you are in the
world, we could send you per post!
More important is that we would
distrubute your money for a good
reason! About 10 CDs is a month
schooling for a child in our current
project in Cambodia.
This Chilean group are professional
musicians, therefore the quality of the
CD is guaranteed =D
Blending culture, turning your life into a colourful adventure!
