My researching has reach the stage where I start to dig out papers written in Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, Portuguese, the language of Iran...

Yes.

And actually. It's fun. To try reading the paper in Chinese. To use language tools on Google to translate Spanish...

Library Books

One thing I love about doing research is going to the library and finding old materials. When I get my hands on bounded journals from 1914, from 1925, from 1948, my heart oozes joy and I get all sentimental, imagining who used these before. :)

I realized the collection we have in the NUS library is really good! :) Nice oldies in the closed stack. And they help us find documents we don't have too.

The Botanical Gardens Library has some goodies too.

I love books and old stuff and libraries! :)
