　　In the evening, we hosted the first international exchange banquet held overseas for internationally famous scholars and friends on the 2/F of the Radison Plaza Hotel. The honorable guests included Professor Raymond Cole, Director Nils Larsson, Mr. Ronlld Rovers, Dr. Wim Bakens, and Professor Aleksander Panek. These people have played an important role to help us obtain the opportunity to deliver a keynote speech at SB2002 Oslo. Secretary General Huang Chin-ying and ARF professors were dressed up for the banquet, and Secretary General Huang Chin-ying presented the "ARF Song" and "Symbiotic Overture" CD to the guests at the banquet. After telling them the touching stories behind this CD, everyone was deeply touched. Secretary General Huang Chin-ying asked Professor Cole to introduce ARF in order to give everyone a better understanding of the ARF. At the banquet, delegates took this opportunity to express themselves and eagerly receive friends from different parts of the world on behalf of Taiwan. The atmosphere was great and guests did not want to leave. Lastly, with the recommendation of ABRI Director Hsiao Chiang-pi, Secretary General Huang Chin-ying and Professor Chiang Che-ming stood up and walked to the exit to see the guests out； and guests began to grudgingly leave the banquet. The aim of this international exchange was accomplished smoothly.

　　因為場地的關係，很遺憾地無法容納所有團員，但未能一同參與晚宴的團員可也沒有閒著，在團長的細心叮嚀下，隨團導遊也安排他們在充滿異國情調的義大利餐館中，盡情體驗南歐的風情，有熱情的老闆與香醇的美酒相伴，也別有一番滋味。
　　It was a pity that not all delegates were able to join the banquet because of the venue restrictions. However, those who were absent were never left doing nothing. With the great concern of Secretary General Huang Chin-ying, tour guides arranged a fine Italian dinner for these delegates to enjoy the southern European passion. They all enjoyed this wonderful treat accompanied by the passion of the restaurant owner and fine wine.

　　9月23日一早，經過一個晚上的養精蓄銳後，黃晉英秘書長帶領團員們各個精神抖擻地參加「2002年永續建築國際會議」開幕式及第一全會等會議。八點半一到，一聲聲由身著挪威傳統服飾的少女以挪威代表性樂器吹奏出之樂音揭開了大會的序幕，也宣告永續建築議題再度開啟新的一頁。
　　Early morning on September 23, after recuperating from the night before, Secretary General Huang Chin-ying led delegates in full spirits to attend the opening ceremony and the First Plenary Meeting of SB2002 Oslo. At 8:30 am , the opening ceremony began, and the music played with the representative Norwegian wind instruments by girls in traditional Norwegian clothing, announcing a new chapter for sustainable building issues.
