6 December 2006: Gathering with Qifang!

I met up with Qifang（琦芳）in the evening, fulfilling a pledge that we had made in an Impromptu Speech Contest held in Taipei many months ago. We talked for hours at a nearby restaurant; Marvin tagged along and we had enjoyed one another's company. Qifang is a NTU student, but we had never met in campus prior to this. We discussed many issues at the dinner table, including the very sensitive ones best kept away from the public ear. In the end, Qifang suggested that we should have one big outing with other Taiwanese contestants too, and I hope that it will materialize in due course.


Marvin was rather surprised that I had won (Runner-up) in a Speech Contest before, and I decided to inflate my ego by publishing these photos. The second one looks funny because Chairman-Mayor Ma was asking me a question and I thought too hard in answering him.
