I don't know how this happened, but apparently I'm listed as "head of household" for our house in Taiwan.  I have fond memories growing up in the "countryside" of Hsin-Chu.  My house was a three-storey red brick building with a balcony of white baulstrade.  There was a little pond replete with fat carp.  Surrounding the property was a camphor tree and jasmin hedges.  Passion fruit vines climbed over the garage. 

My brother and I had wicked childhoold playing various pranks including throwing sand down on pedestrians from our roof-top sandbox; shooting dogs with giant syringes and drowning ants and catepillars. 

I never got the chance to visit on the two occasions when I went back to Taiwan.  It's been fourteen years! 

  
To this day, when at home, my mom still feeds me medicine when I'm sick
