2005.6.11=6[#162]:4703.5.5[++#3]:T#25 2 taxis(!) to Hsin-bu incense at tang-ha, Jih-sheng good lunch, short stay at Jan-tong's place, 2 hr blog.

Cloudy fair then cloudy even with tiny rain drops, warm: Up 5:20, mom already up. Jung tel and Hsiang out for taxi to Hsin-bu, finally for 2, 9:30 to 3:00 back, for NT#3100 each. Fortunately, they manage to come before 8:50, H/Dj very punctual. Hsiang/Jung & I in front taxi, mom, Hsueh & Hiro/Dju in following one. I have fully organized maps, a little sleep then from Yang-mei 115, Hsiu-tsai Rd down south to Jao-men police off then T-section waiting for Jan-tong & Fon-dien with sacrifice stuff to our house, 3 incenses front, back & behind to heaven for each, with candles lighted by Fon-dien, mom kneals 3 times w/o any clean cover, also bow several times joined by us for 2 coins to show acceptance by ancestors and father. Then Fon-dien burns silver papers with Hiro and me. Meanwhile mom talks with the father then the son apologizing to Chiu again? Dju joins by side. I knock Ken-chan's door, leave greeting to his children, then lock piano room from inside, but unable to close tight side door. Follow them to the usual Jih-sheng restraurant, this time feel safe with us 7 and 2 drivers, Hsiang requests public chopstick with each dish, and taste very good indeed! Then straight to Jan-tong's place, after I tel again from the T-spot waiting for Fon-Dien to lead the way, for talk and some sleep and tea, air-condition comes a little later. The elder Jan-tong shows us, Hiro and me, Japan's past Education Edict(djokugo} and his own instruction to family members (I assume), which includes "Don't listen to your wife", protested by sis. Home around 4pm, so here for 2 hours Internet, now 6:03pm. Delete then just a few emails again. Home no one, so to market to discover only mom and Hsueh, I take over a few stuff from sis back to home, Hsiang/J home, Hsueh packs up for going back to Osaka. Night all watch and listen to Ma Yoyo's silk road music, simple bath, first(?) to bed 11:20.
