Moving

Dr. Tang's lab is moving to a new building next week. So we have to stop all experiments this week, and start packing. There are boxes and boxes of flask, tubes, instruments etc. everywhere. It is a hiccup in my planned schedule because I was hoping to finish part of my work this week. However, it gives me more time to write my paper and I can continue my experiment next week.

It was the birthday of two lab members this week - Amber and Jin-Hong. There is huge thing in Taiwan now with huge rubber ducks! It seems that every province in Taiwan had borrowed/ bought this huge rubber duck (about 10m high) from Germany. They had placed it in the rivers and ponds of the respective province as tourist attractions. Due to weather and bad management, these ducks have "die" one after another (the rubber duck burst!)... back to the birthday... so for their birthday, their cake was the RUBBER DUCK!.... :)
