Nobel Prize Part 2

Sometimes one learn things the embarassing way.

As expected during my Swedish class today, the discussion topic was on the Nobel Prize Ceremony the day before. Afterwhich, we went round the table to talk about past Nobel Prize winners from your own country. So, there were Nobel Prize Laureates from Russia, Bosnia, Kenya, Poland, Chile.. and when it came to my turn, I said that there hasnt been any Nobel Prize winner from Singapore. My teacher was nice, she said comfortingly that maybe there will be one next time, and why not that I talk about other laureates from Asia instead?

So, I had to reply truthfully that I had no idea on whom had received a Nobel Prize before in Asia.

But I know now- there were laureates from China, Japan, S.Korea and Taiwan.
