Recalling his years abroad, Lin laughs and says that classes took up only about one-third of his time. He spent the rest going to museums and traveling. In his two years in the UK, he made six circuits of the island, travelled by Chunnel to Paris, and used the City of Lights as a base for his explorations of the rest of Europe.
回想那段異國歲月，林國基笑說，自己只把三分之一心力放在課業上，其他時間除了參觀美術館外，幾乎都在旅遊，兩年內足足把英國跑了 6 圈，還穿越海底隧道直通巴黎，再輻射前往歐洲各國。
