Note: I ran out of batteries for my digital camera again, so I used the webcam of my EEE PC to take photos during the 2nd day of the SEAIP '08 and PRAGMA Institute being held in Taiwan. Our session today (December 2, 2008) was held at the National Palace Museum in Taipei. From Taichung it takes two and a half hours travel by bus (one way) to Taipei.
