I hope you had a nice trip!<br /><br />I learned how to post pictures (I am apparently a slow learner when it comes to blogging), and decided to just go ahead and post my photo.

The traditional Chinese think children owe their parents big time, and must spend their lives repaying the debt (basically the opposite of the American attitude: "I didn't ask to be born!!"). <br /><br />They even have mandatory parent support (like child support but for your parents) and it's a crime not to pay.Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09570841904308934998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7794836422803225879.post-35208426641041184902012-05-04T01:22:27.689+08:002012-05-04T01:22:27.689+08:00Glad to be back and catch up with your blog again ...Glad to be back and catch up with your blog again (after a long trip away). It's nice to see more and more pictures of you and little R now ;-)<br />I typed a comment about working French women and it didn't show :(<br />I love most of your book reviews and I bought a few books according to your words as well.Utopia Munichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09637637401926380951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7794836422803225879.post-87590080968103821572012-05-03T23:13:58.658+08:002012-05-03T23:13:58.658+08:00That's really interesting!

Haha it's sooo the wrong way to relate to this, but I was just reminded of Mulan and "letting down her ancestors" and how amazing and magical and scary I thought it was as a kid to have that kind of connection to your past. <br /><br />Of course, I definitely wouldn't want 1000 years of family pressure bearing down on me! ;)Mandyhttp://www.marriedupwithwine.comnoreply@blogger.com
