IMTD 實習週記 1127

我的實習最近相當平靜,我個人的企劃都接近尾聲了,不過我想在學期末做個小型的聚會,想要邀請參加過我規劃的論壇的學生跟工作人來,應該是一個好主意!

大使老闆不在,他去參加他孫子的婚禮,所以還需要跟大使討論,我想我老闆應該會喜歡這個企劃才是,他最喜歡networking啦!

*Project Progress*
Pre-Thanksgiving week was peaceful. I sent out some thank you emails to the participants who came to the dialogue. Erica helped me to update the website. She sent to the web masters about the update. However, I have not seen the update yet. The website is really out-of-date and Asian Dialogues section really needs to be updated.

This week, I will continue to organize another dialogue. I am now asking around whether people want to come in December. Since it was Thanksgiving and the end of semester, people will be busy so I am not sure about the dialogue.

At the same time, I am thinking about doing a networking event for all the previous dialoguers. A happy hour style chat in IMTD or my place will be great. Hailey said that she did the same thing at the end of semester.

*News on Northeast Asia*
French President Nicolas Sarkozy went to China for a three-day visit. During his visit, a huge contract was signed between China and thirty European companies including Airbus and Areva, the French nuclear company. During his visit, Sarkozy also mentioned that Beijing is keeping the yuan undervalued to lift exports and urged Beijing to appreciate the currency. He also urged Beijing to abide by international standards and cut down the greenhouse gas emission.
