Love it.<BR/><BR/>As for the crease, no idea. Since coming back from Taiwan, it seems that a lot of people have the crease, so who knows what it really represents, if anything. It's interesting, though--especially since you've confirmed that you have aboriginal blood, plus the crease. Hmmm.alvinalinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04503984086482905226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21394993.post-1166670543346272992006-12-20T22:09:00.000-05:002006-12-20T22:09:00.000-05:00I was searching "Taiwanese with Dutch blood" on go...I was searching "Taiwanese with Dutch blood" on google and randomly came across your blog. It's interesting what you said about that crease like an inch above the inside elbow. I have that crease too and I was told that I have aboriginal blood when I went to Taiwan 2 summers ago. This is actually quite interesting. Do you by chance know why that crease is there?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21394993.post-1166282297310214122006-12-16T10:18:00.000-05:002006-12-16T10:18:00.000-05:00Crazy...

But of course I've never had them outside Taiwan.<BR/><BR/>Mm...<I>Lian wu!!</I><BR/><BR/>Grr. Now I can't stop thinking about it.<BR/><BR/>:P<BR/>r<BR/><BR/>Btw, which Bust a Move did you play?? I love the dance game, but the Tetris-like one is my evil addiction! (These are pretty much the only two video games I play at all, and they have the same name!)<BR/><BR/>They put a version of it up at the <A HREF="http://www.charlotteswebmovie.com/site/index.php" REL="nofollow">Charlotte's Web website</A> earlier this year ("Barn Break"), and I accidentally played so long, I got on the scoreboard. Now THAT is a first.<BR/><BR/>(Aw, I just looked. I'm off the list! I was both first and third!)<BR/><BR/>:P :P<BR/>rRitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03823648489427679440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21394993.post-1165748903192227022006-12-10T06:08:00.000-05:002006-12-10T06:08:00.000-05:00my roommate's gallery did a show earlier this year...my roommate's gallery did a show earlier this year of all these hyper-realistic golf paintings and a golf course installation. according to the spiel the director & owner gave to some foreigners who bought a couple of the pieces, the artist was making a statement about the new moneyed class in china, who aspire to emulate the west & do things like play golf. there are also these fancy private kindergartens rich chinese send their kids to where these kindergarteners take golf classes and stuff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21394993.post-1165554915537000492006-12-08T00:15:00.000-05:002006-12-08T00:15:00.000-05:00Thanks for posting the picture of your family shri...Thanks for posting the picture of your family shrine. No portraits like ours. I want to post a photo of ours (and gravesite)on my blog, but the family says it's not such a good idea. I think it's just a family thing. I've seen photos of Japanese family altars in other places...I'm enjoying your blog. The matter of skin color reminds me of Baba being happy that our son was dark. Our daughter was very fair. Baba said it is good for boys to be dark. This is all family history. annieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21394993.post-1165423663442591942006-12-06T11:47:00.000-05:002006-12-06T11:47:00.000-05:00kong xing cai is out of season here! i'm so sad.kong xing cai is out of season here! i'm so sad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21394993.post-1165339238387343542006-12-05T12:20:00.000-05:002006-12-05T12:20:00.000-05:00OH MY GOODNESS!

Gobs of that foul, skin-lightening product are sold in the Indian shops here in the States, too. Always the comments about the color of skin ... this is one of my biggest gripes about being South Asian.
