Urgent! Old Laptops Needed!

One of my best friends is working with a charity organization to provide the children computer classes in Cambodia. Many of the children have learned a lot of basic computer skills but lack computers to practice with. So far they have donated 4 desk tops and 2 laptops, and they hope to send a few more laptops, which are easier to carry to the orphanage on their next trip to Cambodia.

Please ask around and see if there are any old lap tops that people are willing to donate (old one is ok but it needs to work, too.) and reply this post. My friend is coming to Taiwan at the end of March and leave for Cambodia shortly. If you are in Taiwan and have laptops to donate, please let me know by the end of March. Thanks a lot!

Best regards,
Danny

Back to Taiwan

Well...it seems a while since my last post. Here is a short update about myself.

After graduating from Thunderbird, I went to Switzerland for a 2-week winterim program. It was great! I took about 2000 pictures, and it's a bit difficult for me to select and to arrange those as you may know. :P Chinese New Year was fun. I went to my mom's home town, Kaohsiung, a sunny city with nice people. Unlike Kaohsiung, Taipei is quite a raining place. Try to imagine scooter riding under rain. Trust me. It's not a pleasant experience at all. While riding my scooter, I somehow felt my snot flying away. Gee...

Besides, I work for my friend's project to translate some business documents. Now I can totally understand why Prof. Kenman looked so terrified when he reviewed our assignments. Although those who wrote these documents are not native English speaker, they are very proud of and quite picky about their pieces. You might find a paragraph-long sentence. After reading through it, I HAVE NO IDEA what they were trying to say. However, it's still a great lesson for me. Help me get back and reintegrate myself. Most likely, I will continue this project till the end of March. Hope to have more time to share with you then.

Wish you all the best. By the way, if I have more money and time, I want to extend my travelling experiences further. Below is the graph I found during the internet surfing. Hope that you like it.
