Dinner in Frankfurt, Germany (Oct. 12, 2008)

.




.
Today (Monday, 13 October 2008) I will leave Bensheim and will go to Heidelberg for a meeting at the University of Heidelberg (Germany).

Lst night, Dr. Kilian Schwartz (my host in GSI, Darmstadt) treated me to a dinner in Frankfurt, Germany together with his wife Annie and his colleagues at GSI (Darmstadt). I had Frankfurter (sausages) with Sauerkraft (fermented cabbage) and cider (apple wine) -- a traditional meal in Frankfurt.

Thanks to Dr. Kilian Schwartz and his family for a wonderful stay in Darmstadt/Bensheim, Germany.

Cheers,

Last April 10, 2008 (while I was in Taipei, Taiwan for the International Symposium on Grid Computing, ISGC 2008) my colleague, Dr. Heng-Shuen Chen, professor of medicine in National Taiwan University, treated me and Dr. Yannick Legre (president of HealthGrid, http://www.healthgrid.org/) to a dinner in Formosa Restaurant in Taipei together with some of Dr. Chen's medical interns and graduate students (including Ms. Merri Su).

Dr. Chen and Merri Su are our partners (from Taiwan) in the French government funded international research collaboration project on content-based image retrieval using grid computing, the ONCO-MEDIA project (See http://www.onco-media.com/).
