The Taipei Forum for Discussion and Learning is glad to receive support from a similar organization in Kyoto, Japan, the Kyoto Salon @ Sarut-ya. One of Kyoto Salon's members (Tommy) actually visited the Forum last Sunday and an initial contact has been started. We hope that we will have some fruitful cooperation in the future. We also encourage the Kyoto Salon to continue their work and we are grateful to them to let us know that similar groups as ours exist in other places, which is encouragement for us too.
