Bonfire Night 4 Nov. 19.30

Dear friend,

Cafe International will be holding its 'Bonfire Night' at Widcombe Baptist Church tomorrow at 19:30, with food (hot dogs) being served at 20:00. If the weather is good enough then we will head out for a short walk at 20:30 to view some firework displays (after a short talk inside) and if the weather is poor we will stay inside for a slightly longer talk.

Whatever the weather, we will get to have fun with some sparklers!!

Also, a number of people said that they would be interested in coming to a group that will look through the Bible. The group will be informal and will be looking through 'The Gospel of Mark' to see what Jesus claims about himself.

If you are one of these people or would be interested in coming along to the group, please e-mail us so that a group could be organised.

Looking forward to seeing you soon!

We had some yummy cream tea!

Many attendants from this event told me they enjoyed the cream tea very much afterwards, especially the clotted cream. If this is your first visit to England from the far East, you might find many types of cream in this country. Here's the basic definition of different types of cream: (Wikipedia)

We had a great re-opening night!

On Sept 30th, Café International officially re-opened with a welcome buffet and talk on British culture on 30 Sept. We all had great fun and learnt a lot about British culture. I met many friends from my home country, and felt excited to see people from other parts of the world such as China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, etc. It was great to hear those new international students' expectations about their life in England and studies. I was like that 2 years ago! ;)

We'll have a traditional English Cream Tea evening next time! Can't wait!!

Cafe team warm up!

After a few months break, we were back to the Cafe tonight. We were very excited, but I missed my friends from Cafe who have gone back to their home countries. From this term, we have Keith and Matt with us. We're looking forward to working with them. We had great fun chatting and playing games such as table tennis - around the table, and Wii game (Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games.)

I enjoy working with these lovely people again, and welcome Keith and Matt. Hope you enjoy it, too.
