Have fun.

Couple nights ago we went out for a family dinner to celebrate Hu's first day of school. Hu always likes to say things like "girls stand in the bus line and kiss daddy" and make fun of boys who talk with girls. So that night we had this boys-n-girls dialog again and I said "girls stand in the bus line and get married with Hu".

His voice then became loud, "NO!! you can't marry twice". "That's very good to say that Hu" I said. "But", he continued, "you can have fun".

Hu, carry on dad's unfinished rhapsody!!

We are from the same world

My son Hu Chiao goes to elementary school in Taipei. Grade 1 rookie, needs to learn the classroom manner and most importantly, speaking Mandarin and not mixing with English (we moved back from NY to Taipei in mid-2002).

(zh-tw)我的大兒子喬琥今年進小學. 小一菜鳥新生, 需要多學學上課的規矩, 還有, 不把中文和英文混在一起說 (我們2002年中才從紐約搬回台灣)....

One day during the summer pre-course term, we walked together after school hours, and saw a foreigner, tall white guy with blond hair. Hu walked to him and said, "Hi, can you speak English?" The man responded nicely "Y-E-S". The second question that Hu asked him is really surprising: "OK, are we coming from the same world?"

在暑期訓練期間, 一天我和琥放學後碰到一個高大的老外, 白種金髮. 琥過去問他 "你會說英文嗎?" "當然囉!"那男生很和悅地回應. 琥接下來問了一個問題, 讓每一個人都吃驚: "好, 我們是不是來自同一個世界?"

August 31st, the first day Hu's school life in Taipei. Good luck Hu and we all love you!!
