8/20--Lecture by professor Larry Diamond!

today, we had a special lecture by professor Larry Diamond. he is Georgina's professor at stanford university. today's topic was a lot about the democracy in asian country especially in korea and taiwan. the reason why he didn't talk a lot about japan is that he thought that japan has already been a well-democratic country.

before this lecture, he came back from taiwan a few days ago. so he talked a lot about taiwan's democracy. i learned a lot form him because he gave me some new conceptions about the democracy in taiwan. moreover, he compared the process of democracy between taiwan, korea and japan.

unfortunately, although the lecture was quite wonderful, peter tsai, a taiwanese fell asleep in the lecture.the following is the picture he slept
it was such a funny picture!! haha!!!
