Dr Yuan-Tseh Lee has visited Australia.  Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne , Adelaide.  Perhaps Perth later.  He speaks English with a slight French accent (“I’ve been spending some time in Paris”) and is a keen follower of professional tennis.

Moments after this picture was taken (with a phone camera) Dr. Lee was off for an hour of tennis at Taipei’s Academia Sinica courts.

The photo opportunity (this single picture,  a courtesy) was possible at the Academia Sinica International Community Club dinner tonight.

My friend Lisa Simpson (in Australia) should be smiling that I was invited to sit at the No.1 table opposite Taiwan’s first Nobel Prize recipient.
