- IAC is aiming to designate Tel Aviv University the alternative to Ivy Leagues and establish the ||The Gay Capital of the Middle East|| aka ||The Israeli City that Never Sleeps|| aka ||The Little Manila of the Middle East|| as the hub-bub for Israeli-East Asian cooperation.
- To my surprise, practically every university in Israel all ready has a flourishing East Asian Studies program, besides Haifa.
- IAC is planning to construct their headquarters in Jerusalem with satellite offices in select major cities throughout the Global Alphabet City.
- 2012 will mark the anniversary of official diplomatic relations between India-China and Israel, respectively. IAC is developing Chinese New Year activities and events to commemorate the burgeoning partnership.
- CNN on the big screen tv was distracting.
- Finally met Jordan Elpern-Waxman, in purson.
- Every guest pitched in Happy Family (Jing spotted me).
- Longterm IAC goal: Panoramic East Asian Food Court in Jerusalem featuring genuine cuisines from the region, with emphasis.
