Tourists

Most of the visitors that we had around here since more than a week ago have left today. Due to an international conference that took place in Taipei, organized by the ASIAA, a lot of people from Barcelona landed in Taiwan two weekends ago. I do not know why so many came, but I took them around the city a few days, because as a local I know more how this is.


But then, between doing a little sightseeing on the weekend, attending the talks in the morning and the afternoon during all week, meeting people to go for dinner and, maybe, having a beer afterwards, my life has been too chaotic for several days. So much that I forgot to update this blog or I was too tired to write anything late at night (or in the middle of a talk).

As I was saying, all have left today, except a student with whom I will try to do some work during these three days that we have left. Maybe I can still go back to the good old times. But I am not complaining. I got something from the talks and the following discussions; and the long conversations with some of my collaborators have given us some new ideas to try and a more accurate planning on the (lots of) work that we must do in the next two or three months.

Back to the right track, then.

Back in Taipei

This blog was not very active before going back to Barcelona, but I was planning on adding some new entries once in a while. Unfortunately, there was no way to remember or to find the peace of mind to write, and I got nothing done.

I landed in Taiwan this evening, after a trip slightly shorter than the way out, all the connections and schedules were kept almost to the minute and I did not had any major problem —apart from forgetting the adaptor for the plug of my laptop in Barcelona , a big mistake!, but I already have one brand new.

So, that is all for now. I slept a lot in the plane, but I am still very tired and I could use some more sleep. I will leave the tales of my adventures for some other day ,but I just wanted to say that this blog is still alive.
