On November 18-23, upon the invitation from Chaipattana Foundation of Thailand, Lucy and Gan attend the International Conference on Environment,  Livelihood and Service (ICELS 2018) which took place in CW Tower, Bangkok.

They also visited Pasicha in Chulalongkorn University where they met Professor Wadina Jinsart, head of department of environmental sciences and discussed on future collaboration potentials. The trip ended with a visit to Lam Pak Bia wetland and Amphawa water market.

It was a nice talk.

The talk ended with a Chinese ‘Ci’ I wrote for Thailand 2 years ago. 【玉堂春·暹罗】四方佛地,纤指浓妆骚女。月印湄南,日抹宫玑,十万人家,沃野良田碧。几处唐音陌客羁。  缅甸高棉寮老,相拥何所依?问讯神州,莫道桑榆晚。海上丝绸半岛系。

Örjan Gustafsson and family visited Guangzhou

On October 28 to 31, Örjan Gustafsson visited the group. This is his second visit in the year of 2018. His family came along with him. Orjan had intensive discussions with Gan, Guangcai, Xiaofei, Yi Xin and Buqing. The visit push our collaboration much forward and made it more clearly. The advance of BPCA-based dual-carbon methodology and aerosol di-acids dual-carbon isotope methodology were highly appraised by Orjan. He also discussed with Junwen on the writing of the Malaysian Bachok Station radiocarbon paper. We went to Baiyun Mountain with his family for a nice excursion. And the kids had great first impression of Guangzhou, from the splendid Pearl River water front, to delicate vegetarian food in the ShiFangYuan restaurant. Anna, the little lovely beauty received a special gift from Gan and Liu Xin, which is a family portrait of her family in the PR waterfront. Wonderful memory.
