Dear old friends, It is very cold here in the northern America.  With the end of the year approaching I would like to wish everyone a merry X'mas and very happy new year. I enjoyed my one year stay in Taiwan.  I had a lot of fun.  It was very wonderful to see many old friends there.  Hope to see you again in Taiwan soon.   The attached is a picture taken during snowing in case you are curious about how bad it can be. Wish all of you the best!! Yarsun
