Wear Your Poppies

The 11th hour, on the 11th day of the 11th month. Rememberance Day, Poppy Day, whatever you want to call it. Wear your poppies with pride, respect and with thanks to those veterans of the two World Wars, who died on the battlefields fighting for other people's freedom.

People around the UK will be observing a two minute silience, one minute for each war to pay respects to those fallen young men of both wars. On the run up to this day, I would normally buy poppies for the family to wear. Its a shame that there doesn't seem to be a place to Taipei to buy poppies. Nevermind. Our thoughts are with those families who had lost loved ones in these two unfortunate events.

Going Japanese

After a bit of a battle in the bathroom with Amelie, she chose to go Japanese tonight. Chien took some pictures, and I thought I'd like to share them. Enjoy!

Lunch with Grandma Ng - Japanese Style

For lunch, after praying at Grandpa's resting place, we set off to a local Japanese restuarant which Grandma likes very much. I went for the roasted eel in teriyaki sauce with rice. It was really really nice, and could have had another two bowls. Grandma's favourite dish was the barbecued squid. We also have pan-fried dumplings, beef rice-don, and my Aunt ordered her favourite sushi rolls. Really enjoyed that meal! More photos here .

Hello, Amelie is sick again...

Just an update.  I know it has been a while, but Amelie is in hospital with some bad virus.  Hopefully, she will get better soon...
