The China and a World Without Communism forum worked out remarkably well, with a near-full house attending.

While Zhang put together a convincing argument weaving together statistics and recent reports from within the Middle Kingdom, Lozinski tackled the issue of communism itself, as an ideology put into practice.

So why wasn't Jan taking photos as usual? Because he was locked up in a tiny soundproof room quickly translating Polish to English for the duration of the forum. Translation for most of the speakers went reasonably well, but for one Jan was in a perpetual sweat. The fellow spoke so quickly that it was near-impossible to keep up. Hats off to those professional simultaneous translators!
