We had to get ourselves registered in Taiwan. So we spent a 2 hours to get some documents notarized, take passport photo, and renew Caroline’s Taiwan passport. We’re able to get things done in a short amount of time. It’s quite efficient compared to where we came from.

Later we went to visit grandpa. He was hospitalized for a week for his minor stroke. He seemed very happy to see us all, but he was too tired to stay awake. The kids and I were busy eating hot dog, tea eggs, and bread we bought from 7 Eleven.

We also went to see his new place, which is only across the street from his old place. It has an elevator access. It’s a spacious, newly furnished, 3-bedroom flat. While wer were waiting for them to discuss how to setup the new place for grandpa, I had a deep respect for dad & mom who demostrated filial piety to us. We later went with dad & mom to purchase some furniture for grandpa’s new flat. They reminded me of my parents who had also done that for their parents. Now it’s my turn.

Postlude

Mom tried to “teach” Darlene multiplication table. But we felt uncomfortable with her method. Darlene also felt discouraged. Later Darlene was crying in the bedroom. She was wondering why grandma was being mad at her. I comforted her & let her know grandma’s good intension. I also told her that I would teach her multiplication while we’re in Taiwan. Hope that would ease the tension a bit.
