IMTD 實習周記 1002
以為上了大學就再也不用寫周記了，但是為什麼我老闆每個禮拜都要我交一篇周記，嗚嗚。這禮拜很繁忙，也開始為我下禮拜的【日本─韓國對話】緊張，希望一切都會很順利完成。
*Project Progress*
I finalized the agenda and did a little flyer for the 6th Japan-Korea Dialogue. I am preparing for the dialogue and still need to make sure that the Japanese students will come. I will contact Dawn and the other Korean students.
I went to a conference on Taiwan politics. It was a very good conference; there were several panels. It dealt with democracy, identity and security in Taiwan. Taiwanese identity and the divide of public opinion are fervently discussed. I met a Korean intern during the luncheon; her major is North Korea Studies and she is interning in IPS. Maybe I can ask her to come to IMTD. I am working on the memo about this conference. I will be able to share with IMTD later.
*News around Northeast Asia*
Chiefs from two Koreas met in Pyongyang
North Korean leader, Kim Jong-il, met the South Korean president, Roh Moo-hyun, in Pyongyang today for a summit meeting. President Roh travels to North Korea with quite a bold initiative: if North Korea agrees to arms cuts and a de-escalation of half a century of animosity, South Korea will help rebuild the North’s moribund economy, creating a “joint economic community.” This might be the prelude to eventual reunification. However, this summit has a mixed review. President Roh is taking a great risk offering a large sum of unilateral South Korean aid without knowing whether this is just another Kim Jong-il’s tactical move.

下面這篇蠢信，是我寫給呂秀蓮副總統的．．．我不是很相信她會看然後回應我老闆，但是老闆說：「你要一直嘗試啊！」
副總統您好：
我叫游小乖。（當然是我的匿名~~）我現在在美國華府的非營利組織Institute for Multi-Track Diplomacy (IMTD，多軌外交研究所)工作，本組織的網站是www.imtd.org，上面有更詳細的組織介紹，本組織的理事長是John McDonald大使，大使擔任公職逾四十年，退休後成立了IMTD，致力於多軌外交與衝突解決。
McDonald大使提到他與你早年在黨外時期就有交集，他曾四次來台灣，其中一次當時的政府官員請他用餐，他說好但是要請您一起參加，讓當時政府相當錯愕，他對民進黨相當友善，所以他吩咐我寫信給您希望您與McDonald大使能再次聯繫。
如果可以用英文回信，麻煩請回到大使的信箱jmcdonald@imtd.org，謝謝您。如用中文回信，煩請回信到我的信箱ltyou@imtd.org。
敬祝安康。
