Sometimes you get lucky and there are a few kids that just touch you; you really fall in love with them. There's this little kid, Ray--what a great little guy. If nothing else, it was worth coming to Taiwan for Ray. He couldn't be more than 8 years old, but his command of the language is astonishing. We were talking about Abraham Lincoln, so I fished out a 5-dollar bill from my wallet for everyone to see what he looked like. I asked everyone what they thought he looked like and most people yelled, "Ugly." Not Ray; he yelled, "Ugly, disgusting, egocentric," and "maniac," all in a row. I was floored. I asked him where he learned all these great adjectives and he cooly replied, "My grandfather." Then he told me how the president of Taiwan was "corrupt." The word "President" was written on the board. I wrote "Ray" with an arrow pointing to "President" and declared him the future of Taiwan. HAHA, where did this kid come from? I want to take him back home and he can live with me and Gus.
