Your mother is my sister's close friend. She hasn't heard from your mother for several years. My husband and me went to Los Angeles for study in 1976 and stay with her, your dad, your grandparents for a few nights. Your mother taught me how to clean the bathroom. She came with you to visit me some time. That time you were so cute like a doll. <BR/>I told my son to search you mom's name but couldn't found until 2 days ago I tried to search again and found and 100% sure when I read your blog. I called her and talked to her. <BR/>Your blog is very great. Hope to see you.<BR/>Yoo -- PacharintanakulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30037974.post-49278604865380314942007-05-21T12:19:00.000+02:002007-05-21T12:19:00.000+02:00@janice: True, despite the culture clashings and p...@janice: True, despite the culture clashings and parent-child conflicts, my siblings and I all turned out to be confident, independent, well-adjusted, intelligent adults. My mother and I have grown much closer since I left home, I think it just took a little space (and perhaps life experience on my part) for us to get along ;-)Christina | AmiExpat.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990953167325306238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30037974.post-67126136886608181162007-05-20T14:31:00.000+02:002007-05-20T14:31:00.000+02:00What a lovely family you have!

Some things are different but it seems that the basic instincts and feelings of people are the same the world over.
