Last week, we attended a benefit show at the local coffee bar that we’ve been to a few times. That last sentence requires a disclaimer. It’s called a coffee bar, but they don’t actually serve coffee there. It is slated as an "English corner" for people to practice their English with "foreigners" like me. The first time I went though I actually practiced my Chinese more than I spoke English. It also is called a "bar" but children are welcome and no form of alcohol is served. Our girls have really enjoyed it the few times we’ve gone. They get to stay up late since we preemptively give them a nap.
Anyway, this benefit show involved various musical numbers by both local and foreign performers. The cover charge and donations raised will go towards assisting some local Tibetan orphans with their various living expenses and education costs. It was a good cause and a good show. I had to refrain from "slam-dancing" at one point; I guess I was a bit nostalgic for the days when I actually used to go to concerts like this in cramped venues.
Here’s a few pictures from the event…
