| Just got a phone call from a friend I thought I lost long ago. Our quick conversation to catch up our year not in touch really perked up my day. To find out that a friend is doing well, and that we might even get the chance to meet again, is certainly a case for celebration! (My friend is from Ghana.)
So hello there, whoever you are who is reading this: HOW DO YOU DO? I hope all is going well with you. Maybe I haven¡¯t seen you for a while, but let me thank you here for still caring to check this rarely updated Xanga. I am doing fine, quite well in fact. Won¡¯t you please let me know how you are doing too?
Take care now.

| I am heading back to Taiwan for my bi-annual obligatory "check-in" with my family. This is such that my relatives can take a look at me, pat my head, and gasp at how much I've grown (sides-ways during the more recent years ). I will be doing a lot of polite smiling, listening, nodding and "title calling" (saying the word "Aunt" to my aunts, "Uncle" to my uncles, etc.). Inevitably, I shall discover new members of my family. I estimate that I am related to just about everyone within a five block radius of my old home town. I will be told that I should become an English teacher and get rich doing that. I will be laughed at for my "ABC" ways.
Taiwan is as foreign as South Africa is to me. I am as much a tourist in Taipei as I am a stranger in Johannesburg.
Home.
Here I come!
There is much eating to be done.  |
