Highlights of January 2006
Click here to see what we were reading in January 2006 New Years Brunch with George and David The first day of 2006, our friend George, who we met on our Bhutan trip was in San Francisco visiting his friend David. George and David came out for a rainy afternoon brunch and reminiscing about all of our travels.
Digital Architecture Conference - Guangzhou January 7-8, Jon was the keynote speaker at a conference of 140 Chinese Architecture professors in Guangzhou, China discussing a digital architecture curriculum. The professors represented 40 schools of architecture in China.
In addition to the modern campus buildings, we toured a new art gallery complex - complete with new Chinese row houses, mixed in with some old buildings, and a stream running through the center. The compex also featured a wall made of oyster shells.
After Guangzhou, Jon went to Sanya, a resort town on Hainan Island, to participate in the Autodesk Greater China Employee Kickoff. In addition to the indoor program, we did a team building exercise building a "great wall" on the beach.
Jim, Lang, Ping, and Jon went out sightseeing one afternoon. Our first excursion was taking some small motorboats out to see a famous ocean rock. Once we were out on the water, the boat drivers tried to negotiate a higher fee to take us further and almost refused to take us back.
Hong Kong On the way back from Sanya, Jon transited through Hong Kong and had a little time for sightseeing in one of our favorite cities.
Happy
Chinese New Year! Tasz and Asia wish everybody a fruitful and prosperous year of
the Dog. They are proud to have a whole year devoted to celebrating their
