The Women's Guild (of which I am a member) is hosting a bazaar on Saturday, 11/28. It is a very large annual event that takes place in the Austria Center. There will be food and gift booths from every country. I will be working in the plant booth. We are receiving plant donations from nurseries in town and the country embassies. Last week I called some embassies to remind them of their plant donations. It was interesting to talk to each of them, listen to the music of their country when I was put on hold, and just attempt to communicate when many had a little trouble with my "southern English." Following is a list of the countries I spoke with (maybe you can find them on a map!): Cape Verde, Chile, China, Columbia, Afghanistan, Albania Algeria, Andorra, Angola, Argentina, Armenia, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Belarus, Bolivia, Brazil, Bulgaria, Burkina Faso, Canada, Costa Rica, Cote d'ivoire, Croatia, Cuba, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Democratic Republic of Korea, Denmark, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Ecuador.
It's so amazing that one can experience the culture, food, and dress of so many countries within one city.
It truly is the melting pot of the world!
