VIA \u6545\u4e8b Wheels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

June \/ July 2026 ;-D<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“VIA \u6545\u4e8b (G\u00f9shi) Wheels” … shot in \u56db\u5ddd 1996 by yours truly !! ;-D <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Many thanx to VIA<\/a> for organising this amazing storytelling project and accepting me as a participant !! ;-D I went thru my VIA photo albums<\/em> and decided that this image of prayer wheels<\/em> that I shot in 1996 would serve just fine to symbolise our collective VIA \u6545\u4e8b (G\u00f9shi) Story Wheels<\/em> !! ;-D<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VIA Interview Platform<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

VIA<\/em> has built a wonderful storytelling platform integrated w\/ several software tools, including 1-hour video conference<\/em> appointments (w\/ wiggle room in case of technical glitches). By default, all interviews will be recorded <\/em>and can be deleted<\/em> upon request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VIA’s Generic \u6545\u4e8b Qs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Now. Having signed a VIA confidentiality agreement about these interviews, I promise that I will not post anyone’s responses here. This post’s sole aim is to display VIA’s Generic Qs … most of which are profoundly thought-provoking. They’re listed below, w\/ some mild tweaking<\/em> on my part to match my own communication style. All of my interviewees are kindly requested to think about these Qs<\/em> before we speak …<\/p>\n\n\n\n
