Tourists in China love to pose like
this, so I have adopted the
practice. I also like to pose next to road signs--a practice that
I learned from my late father-in-law. This image is from Bath, which
is probably the nicest city in the UK.
I was able to meet some leading political figures while in the UK.

JUNE 2009
In June 2009, Dr. Hickey and his wife traveled to Taipei, Hong Kong and Macau. While in Taipei, Dr. Hickey met with government officials and presented a paper on American policy toward the rapprochement between Taipei and Beijing at an international conference. In Hong Kong, he met with academics to discuss the changes in cross-strait relations. And on a free Saturday afternoon, they went to Macau to check it out.
This is a group shot of the conference
at
National Chengchi University. It was very hot that day and I have
no idea why I was laughing (maybe Dr. John Hsieh said something funny).
Dr. Hickey met with Dr. Su Chi, ROC
National Security Adviser,
