As was the case with many others it took a couple of weeks for them to reach the decision never ever under any circumstances to visit such a place again. A wrong decision no doubt, from the point of view of recruiting some new members for the ICCA, but in some ways understandably if you are not born with nerves of steel. With a few notable exceptions professors at universities usually aren't. I'm sure you remember.
