Guangzhou, 10–15 January 2004
I went to Guangzhou to visit the Institute of Geochemistry (with Zheng Mei) and the Foreign Language Teaching and Training Center, School of Medicine, Zhongshan University. The formalities of the second visit didn't work out, although I did get to meet Mr. Ni Xiaohong of that center, who is interested in learning more about teaching scientific writing in English. He and his wife Hong Jianwen accompanied me during nearly my whole time there, and we became very good friends. Enjoy the pictures!
