Luau in Zhongshan
 
  
 
Our party received a warm Aloha from Peter of Bellavista Restaurant and the team of Hula performers.  After being treated to a mouth-watering array of Hawaiian food, including an oven version of the famous Kalua pig, we watched performances of Hula dances and listened to the beautiful Hawaiian guitar music.  During the Luau, we met people from Germany, the US, Canada, Portugal and other countries, making it a truly international event.

Juliet, our International Member from California, has an impressive product to show:
 
"This morning, we showed a Laptop Cooler to our daughter Nadine and son-in-law, Eugene, to demonstrate what this product could do. They were
both very impressed! Plus the Laptop Cooler only weighs less than 1oz; 1oz exactly in its box. So light and efficient."

To see the cooler, please go to:  http://www.reasonablespread.com/SpreaderFiles/
