Rank one at Google search engine in Taiwan



My website (keyword: Michael Wu) is ranked the first one at Google search engine in Taiwan among the 27,600,000 results. However, when you key in my Chinese name 吳文舜, my website has not been ranked the first one as it was before. :-(

Travel Grant from National Science Council

I received a letter from National Science Council (NSC) on May 10. It said that they would reimburse my traveling and accommodation expenses up to NT$50,000 on my trip to Brisbane, Australia from July 4 to July 6, 2006. I am going to present my paper titled "Mental images and contextual clues: A comprehension study of animal idiomatic expressions in an EFL environment" in PacSLRF 2006 held at the University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia. It's the first time I get travel grant from NSC in Taiwan, which is an encouragement to me. I will try my best to present my paper and hope that I can also get some feedback from the audience.
