27/06/10 Bruxelles, Colloque sur le thé en plein air

[J.]

Dear teachatters,

I have the pleasure to inform you that, this year, there will be a "tea meeting" (I haven't found another decent name) on the 27th of june.



What will happen:
This is a small scale event, there will be 3 tables around a lake, at each table, people will introduce different tea regions as follows:

-Taiwan: Someone who has family in Taiwan tells about her experience in Taiwanese plantations and prepares tea (perhaps a Baozhong of a DongDing)

-Japan: The teashop owner of Cha Yuan in Brussel will tell about his 2010 journey in Japanese plantations and prepare Japanese teas.

-China: two chinese people will prepare teas they have found in small scale plantations and tell a lot of interesting stories about their travels trhougt plantations.

And finally,

I hope some Belgian teachaters will read this message

Cheers,
J.

So this is now an annual event!

[J.]

Yes it is now an annual event, and that's great.

In september 2011, I hope we will create a "Kot à projet" about tea, we just have to persuade the University to give us a place to do it; a lot of students are interrested in tea.

Kot à projet:KOT whose inhabitants have similar interests and who organise activities for the general student population, they are similar to Fraternity and sorority houses, but smaller in size with only the committee living in the Kot.

J'espère qu'il n'y aura pas de batailles entre Wallons et Flamands !

[J.]

Et pus quoi encore, les batailles se font uniquement dans les médias et entre politiques.
Les deux populations ont la stricte obligation de s'aimer, ou de s'ignorer

Please translate to English so everyone can also participate in this discussion. Thanks!

[J.]

I hope there won't be any battle/fight between flemish and walloons!

..., battles are only made in the newspapers an by the politicians. The two peoples have to either ignore or to love.

[Chip]

Ahhh, see what we were missing!
