Speical thanks to Jay whose generosity is what made our meetings possible and pleasant!

OMG! Perhaps my tiny ISA office is not that bad after all!

Office of a political journalist (Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall

"Speed dating"!

Not sure what any of this means.. .Using this for the image!

I hope it ultimately became clear for everyone what I meant by "speed dating a senior scholar": Junior sociologists get 5-10min with senior scholars who have volunteered to look at their CVs, cover letters, etc.

When Dan was not busy looking up, he would tell us about all the "dangerous games" he has played!

Happy elevator moments, despite the warnings!

There is more but "Napanin" (my nickname as some of you already know) needs to rest! Looking forward to the next round!
