8/21--google visit

actually, i've been waited for this chance to visit google company for a long time. and i was soooo lucky that my name was post in the visit list.

when we visited the google company, it was really what i heard from some magazines and news on tv. the welfare there is pretty good. no wonder the stff there work so hard to build such an internet kindom.

we also got many junkfood and cookies and beverage form the restaurant inside the buildings. it was ok because the food ther is free for us!!haha!!
i also learned a lot about the way that they operate this big company. it was such a whole new experience for me to know a worldwide company deeply. i really cherished this experience. and i strongly made up my mind to study hard to enter google company!

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!!!
