To all,
A happy upcoming Moon Festival to everyone; just remember not to point at the beautiful moon as you all know what will happen.
Our October meeting of the Breakfast Club will take place on Saturday Octgober 7th at Swensen's on Keelung Road at 9:30 am.
For newcomers, the full address of Swensen's is 81 Keelung Rd. Sec. 2. (phone 2735-3696). It is on the east side of Keelung, about two blocks south of Hsin Yi Rd. and right near where Kwang Fu dead ends into Keelung. You are also reminded that everyone buys their own breakfast--there is no free lunch or free breakfast in life, at least as far as I have found out. :) :)
Our speaker this time is Mark Stokes, a former Pentagon defense planner on the Pentagon Taiwan Policy for seven years.
We look forward to seeing you all; come for the synergy and serendepity.
Jerome

Hi
ReplyDeleteI'm not familiar with the 'pointing at the moon' comment - can anyone explain this custom?
Legend goes that if you point at a full moon, you will mysteriously receive a cut at the back of your ear.
ReplyDeleteI'm such a dummy. Michael is in Taichung so I assumed that the meetups he spoke of is in Taichung too. Now that I realize they're held in Taipei, I'll definitly turn up.
ReplyDeleteSee you all there, happy moon festival!
Oh no! I just this minute saw that you will be having the meeting tomorrow. I thought that the meeting might have been postponed due to the holiday weekend and then I didn't check your blog until today!
