My academic hat. There is no graduation ceremony in German universities. So the tradition in our group is that the members will make one for him.
From My PhD Defense 03/11/2008 |
Finally the long battle was over. Though I pretty much crewed up the exams, but I managed to pass it somehow, and the defense (or viva) was not too bad.
The day after my defense my dojo mates gave the best present they could have given me - kakari-geiko!! After the training I almost puked... for not having enough sleep lately and weak body. I need to recover somehow. Yes! Holidays!
Next Tuesday I will be flying to Taiwan, and will stay there until mid January. In Dec, I will make a visit to Tokyo for 2 weeks to do kendo, and Miyazaki for a few days to visit Ryuzo kun a very good friend of my whom I met in Paris.
This will also be the first time that I do kendo in Taiwan. I hope it will be good!
In this trip I hope to, at the same time, sort out some doubts as to what to do next in life... Not a easy one..

Congratulations on finishing a chapter of your life, Dr. Liu!
Enjoy your holiday now, and hopefully you will find new and exciting things you can challenge yourself from there onwards.
Thanks vivian, there are plenty of challenges in life indeed! The question is, I guess, which one is the most meaningful to me..;-)
