Day Trip to the Easter Play, Edinburgh
The play takes place in six different sites around the gardens and we, the audience, follow the actors as they unfold the story of Jesus. The play begins in a market place where we see and hear of the many miracles Jesus performed.

Fundraising event

Our craft stall was a big hit with many and such an encouragement after our many hours of work.
We sold cards, gift scrapbooks, bookmarks, gift boxes and fridge magnets.




Cindy, Magda & Ania worked non-stop in the cafe serving numerous bowls of soup & toasties & baked potatoes ... there were a few muddles and some really manic moments but all-in-all most people went away happy.
A BIG THANK YOU goes to Volker, Abiola, Sugu and others who washed car after car in both sunshine and drizzle ...



FINALLY ... after four hours of hard work, we all got to sit down and enjoy a toastie and tea.
Many, many thanks go to Richard, Sandra & Lorraine for their partnership and all their help.
We raised a grand total of £800 !!!

Here the teams put theirs heads together for a round of 'categories' - some interesting answers were given and one or two weren't allowed.
Let me introduce the teams ...

'The Tigers' - Teresa, Judy, Sarah, Keyur & Bastien
'The Snakes' - Jessica, Kristina, Andrea, Ishan & Misha
Amongst other things we played a round of 'Pass the Polo' where teams competed to successfully pass 15 polos from one table to another using only toothpicks!
The Ligers are to be especially commended here for their excellent team work!!

International Student Weekend
Looking down on the town of Pitlochry
There were several options of activities on Saturday. The more energetic of the group chose to go on a long walk through the countryside. Others of us piled in to several cars and drove to Blair Atholl Castle and spent several hours touring the castle and learning more of its splendid history.




Nkiruka was very gracious as we struggled all weekend to pronounce her name properly!!!
Misha, Lena & I decided to drive home the scenic route through Crieff, Comrie, etc - stopping for a welcome drink at the Lodge in Luss. It was the most beautiful drive through snow-capped hills and passing pristine lochs.

TABLEtalk - Chinese New Year Celebration
What better way to begin our new semester than to welcome the new year in Chinese-style ... and all this was done with the very able and sacrifical help of Fu Yu, Jessica, Sarah, Bora, Kiwi & Rain. I am indebted to these girls for all their hard work.
THANK YOU!!!!!
They made over 300 jiaozi (Chinese dumplings) which were dutifully enjoyed by all (especially me).
In addition to all the good food, we played several games include a Chinese version of 'the word race' in which our teams of non-Chinese were competing to copy Chinese characters - points were awarded for both speed and accuracy.
Our second game caused much hilarity as teams competed to complete several rounds of Chinese Whispers using authentic phrases in Mandarin. My favourite outcome to this game was when the phrase 'sui sui ping an' (which means 'wish you safety & health every year) somehow ended up as ... 'sweet, sweet ping pong'
Fu Yu, Katrina, Kiwi, Rain, Jessica & Sarah (left to right) rounded off our evening with two beautiful Chinese songs.
Lena with all her Chinese buddies!
