Hey, I can still read Chinese, so go ahead to type Chinese, and I can write you back in English.  Gradually, we can learn to understand each others better.   After I learn the Chinese typing, I can write to you in both.  I practiced more English because I was so confused in all the things I learn in Taiwan.  When I came here, I wanted to totally forget what they taught me in Taiwan. The whole value system, the whole non-sense about 修身，and 宗法關係.   Yet all these years, I feel my love to Taiwan is still so strong. Reading what you wrote really convinced me Taiwan has hope because we are learning to face ourselves.  We should just learn to be ourselves.  Let me know how you feel!

Thank you for dropping by in Christmas night.  We had a great party at home.  My uncle and cousin came over with my nephew and niece today.  It has been four straight days we had party in our house, from different parts of our family, very, very busy and warm. My wife cooked the best prime ribs, meat loaf, roasted salmon and ham for all these days.  I am all stuffed.   Duing the day, I ended up with all the baby duty when my wife went shopping and doing grocery. 

Yeah, some how I was able to catch up half of each game, the 3rd and 4th quaters of the Pistons-Spurs game, and the 2nd and 3rd quarter of the Lakers-Heats game.  The first game was as the usually Pistons-Spurs game, lots of defense.  Pistons are playing better offense this season, but it still took McDyess' crucial rebounds, especially those offense ones. 

Kobe made the second game interesting in the 3rd quarter, but I missed the final quarter.  I just caught up the box scores after my uncle left.  Looks like Payton took over late in the game.  I don't have too much to tell since kids were running around. 

Both games were on ABC, hope your parents do get you that!  You are going to catch more games after Christmas.  Enjoy! 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to your whole family.
