Clash

Different cultures, such as Taiwanese or Japanese, deal with things in different ways. Then, it must also be taken into account that each person inside a culture is probably like a very different island from the next one. The result?. Sometimes there are very strange encounters, almost collisions.

I witnessed a colossal one yesterday. In the end, we did not know what to do, whether to laugh or to get annoyed at the surrealism surrouding it, when we realized that we had wasted two hours in a meeting that had turned irrelevant at the last possible moment. I will not go into details, but the more I think about, the funnier it is. Some people are truly special.

By the way, anybody interested in doing a postdoc in Astrophysics in Taiwan?
