I found this love note on the floor of McDonald's, which I IMMEDIATELY pocketed and took home. I haven't translated everything yet but it's my new project. (I know it's a love note because "I LOVE YOU" is written in English on the outside.)
To my mama: Don't translate this in the comments! Thanks, Mom. I want to put my dictionary to use for something IMPORTANT for once. (Joking.)
As all of you know, China (and more specifically, Taiwan) is a big part of my heritage. My mother was born in China but raised in Taipei, Taiwan. (FYI, my father was born in Philadelphia but raised in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. So kind of the same.) All of my mother's immediate family still resides in Taipei: my grandparents, my aunt, my uncle, their children and their children's children. I'm going to Taipei this summer for seven full weeks (from May 28-July 15) to live with them, become familiar with their Taiwan lifestyle and finally learn to speak some Mandarin.
Please bring the note back to Menlo Park and read it to me!
