On October 20th, I got an email from +GlobalPittsburgh inviting people to join on a trivia competition team and compete with other 200+Pittsburgh residents to test our international knowledge. I thought it might be interesting, after double checked that Ken Jennings won’t be at the event because he’s too busy writing his book about trivia, boldly, I jumped on the opportunity and became a team member to +Thomas Buell Jr. Jemal Mihalik, and +Brenda George . Then one day later, I found myself be present at the WorldQuest trivia competition organized by World Affairs Council of Pittsburgh.
Food was very good. Caught up with several acquaintance that I haven’t seen for a while, like Mr. Karamagi Rujumba from Pittsburgh Historical Landmarks and Foundation. Our team lost the competition by 4 points to the third place and we all laughed about it. Had a great time, I mean, really good.
The atmosphere was very contagious in a way that you just can’t stop loving this international curiosity, diversity, and inclusion. What World Affairs Council of Pittsburgh has shown to the community is that all we(government, public sector, private partnership, and NPO sector) are doing to make this community a vibrant, diverse, connected and healthy place for all is well worthy. This gives me drive to continue providing my service through every and each position I am in NOW and about to embark on in the future. As those people I met said affectionately "Pittsburgh is a place that people always come back to." At that moment, one exciting idea popped in to my mind as if toast pops out of a toaster.
I left the Cabaret Theater with the idea of being part of this City’s voice to share what I experienced with other people. If this can trigger the readers to see those things they didn’t see before, or to do thing they haven’t made time for yet, that would be most fulfilling.

1. The World Affairs Council of Pittsburgh is an independent, non-partisan, non-profit organization dedicated to promoting a deeper understanding of key contemporary international issues throughout Western Pennsylvania. Established in 1931, the Council is committed to informing opinion leaders and decision-makers about developments around the world as they unfold – and to educating them about the relevance of such developments to the region. The Council also has a special focus on secondary schools throughout the region, and works to give students and teachers a more nuanced understanding of the global issues of our time. Current CEO of the Council is Dr. Steven E. Sokol. He has spent roughly half his life in the United States and the other half in Europe (in England and Germany).
2. Cabaret is a form of entertainment featuring music, comedy, song, dance, recitation or drama. It is mainly distinguished by the performance venue (also called a cabaret), such as in a restaurant, pub or nightclub with a stage for performances. The audience usually sits at tables, often dining or drinking. The first Cabaret was opened in 1881 in Montmartre, Paris. In the U.S. the Cabaret started in 1911 and Jazz music had a big impact on its diversification later on in different region.
