    AFEC-X How wonderful,
    While I was at XTBG I learnt that I was born in the year of the Dragon. Whether that is a good thing or not, I don’t really know.
    Even if it is hard for anyone to imagine, I might be returning to XTBG later this year. Hope to feel the humid air again. [...]

    Hey guys,

    Afec-X 2009–Chapter Jer Pin Chong

    Now it’s Jer Pin’s turn. Jer Pin Chong is a Malaysian, currently working in a Molecular Ecology lab in Utah State University, U.S.A. (from his blog). He can speak fluent Chinese besides Malay and English. And, yes, you are right, that’s because his ancestors are from Anxi County, Fujian Province, China,where produces the famous Tie Guanyin, [...]

    Afec-X 2009–Chapter Orr

    Orr is a girl from Thailand. Her name is Jitwadee Khoonwongsa, a little bit long and complicated for us, so she let us call her Orr for short. We are in the same age, so we share many things in common, like the same style of earrings.
    I guess the greatest characteristic of Orr is that [...]

    Afec-X 2009–Chapter Liu Shengjie

    Hi, guys, today we are going to talk about Liu Shengjie, the boy who always asked about “Money!”. Hohoh.

    Liu Shengjie is a boy from Hebei Province, China. He is always sunny, but sometimes quiet, especially in lecture time. Well, I think the most primary character of Liu is that he likes offering help, but first [...]

    Hi Afec-x
    I am back from Madagascar. Yen, i didn’t interact with many mice though. I met a giant jumping rat. Endemic to Madagascar and critically endangered with a few thousand individuals left around kirindy forest where we were camped for most of the time. The wild life is amazing, 90% animals are endemic and you [...]

    Afec-X 2009–Chapter Nayana

    Hey, Naya, buddy!
    The first time I met Nayana was the day before the opening of Afec-X, Heather took Nayana and Navendu to find something as dinner. Only through comparison you can have feeling of somebody or something. At that time, Nayana was with Navendu, cause I didn’t like Navendu at that time, I thought Nayana [...]
