People can come at any time from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and buy everything from clothes to books, cakes and flowers. Luckily for us, many volunteers will help prepare for the big event.

Bill Thomas will visit Bookworm Bookshop and Mel’s Music Shop and ask them to give us things that we can sell at the event. Philip White will e-mail all the teachers and ask them to come to our event. Alice Brown will put a message online telling the public (公众) the event is open to everyone. However, there is more to do, and we need your help. We want you to give us things that we can sell—books, old clothes, anything that we can sell to raise money for poor children.

People can not only eat hotpot on the bus but also enjoy the beauty of Chengdu along the way. There is also a guide talking about the culture of hotpot and the stories of the places of interest. People have so many things to do on the bus, so their trip is never boring. At first, the bus only ran at 19:00 every day. Now it runs twice a day at 15:00 and 19:00. It has 8 dining tables inside. In order to let people enjoy their food and the city’s beauty safely (安全地), it travels slowly. It takes 90 minutes to travel about 10 kilometers. The food on the bus comes from a famous hotpot restaurant. It is ready-to-eat food. People can eat it directly (直接地). ▲ However, everyone can find something they like on the bus.
