下一站, 聖保羅 :: next stop, Sao Paolo

The next 'International Conference on Media, Religion, and Culture' will be held at the Methodist University of Sao Paolo, Brazil, in 11-14 August 2008.  The CALL FOR PAPER has recently been posted. I've been to the last two conferences in the series, and it proved to be the academic conferences in which I feel most at home so far.  Want to take part.  But I have totally no clue where and what I will be next summer ...

          下屆 『媒體-宗教-文化』國際學術會議,2008年8月11日至14日,在巴西聖保羅循道衛理大學 (Universidade Metodista de Sao Paolo) 舉行,最近剛剛正式發佈公開邀請提交論文建議。

          此系列研討,由1993年瑞典Uppsala開始,1996到美國科羅拉多Boulder,1999年在蘇格蘭愛丁堡,2004年美國肯塔基路易威爾,2006在瑞典Sigtuna,明年首次跨進南半球。

          我參加過最近兩次,是我到目前為止最feel at home的學術會議;加上我從未踏足過南半球,對拉丁美洲也有點革命浪漫的遐想,所以 ... 有點兒期待。

          只是 ... 明年夏天,噢,好像很遙遠,去向未知,身份不明,經濟更難講 ... 可能沒錢去囉 ... 是很可能。

1. The opportunity to be in the southern hemisphere is huge.

2. This conference is definitely one that you don't want to miss.

3. I have a Brazilian friend in Sao Paolo who speaks perfect English while Portuguese is her mother tongue. She could serve as a local guide.

4. THEREFORE, you should be there.

Thank you, Benjamin.
I won't plan ahead to 'not go', but still it's too early to decide.
