Not much to report, really...nose still at the grindstone, much as it ever was. Looking forward to paying a visit back to Blighty, though I won't be there for long - just 10 days or so.
We have a couple of visiting professors from Waseda here right now, one of whom, Unno-san, is heading back just before Xmas. So we had a little sobetsukai at a Vietnamese restaurant in Chinatown (the guy's a coriander (cilantro) addict). One of the dishes was minced prawns cooked around a sugar cane...I'm pretty sure you weren't supposed to eat it, but some of our party did anyway, as you can see. Food was excellent, and we went for gelato on the lower East Side afterwards. A lighter moment before the real heavy lifting of paper-writing begins.

Tuckysan,
You'll be pleased to know that while you were having a classy Vietnamese the boys were all in Galway for the weekend at Judges stag do. The Wadham boys did themselves proud out drinking, darting and footballing the Surrey lads. This included chinning pints of Guinness OTB (Off The Bicep)!!!
I think we need to go back though as the 3 nights we were there and watched the cricket we did well - easy, easy, easy
The Judge finally decided to do the decent thing after, what, 9 years then? Good to hear, and nice to know that certain Wadham traditions remain intact.
Any chance you could all move to Galway permanently? Might help with the cricket.
