We really got to see Jiu Gong a lot this time while in Taiwan. I think we had a record number of meals with him (4) in the three weeks we were there. You can see Mr. President chillaxing in denim in the first few pictures of the slideshow. Ian also got to play Mah-jongg (sort of) with Lao Wai Po! We had such a great lunch with Lao Wai Po and Jiu Gong.
A bit of trivia: Maxwell is the first great grandson with the last name of Feng, and he got to meet the matriarch of the family, Lao Nai Nai, who is currently 98 years old! She was thrilled to see him. YeYe (Alan's dad) gets bragging rights among his 7 siblings because this grandson is the first in our family with the last name "Feng." Technically, Ian Feng Slater is the first grandson with "Feng" in his name, but unfortunately, the Chinese don't count that. Of course, we're not really into the whole Chinese filial piety thing, but hey, if it makes him happy, why not?
We also had a milestone: Max sat in a baby carrier for the first time! We promptly took a walk with GuGu and Lia to the nearest 7-11 to check out the goods and get some "fresh" air, too. YeYe has a wad of 7-11 vouchers (that are pretty much like cash) in the living room drawer, and 7-11's in Taiwan are a whole different beast than what they are in the states. Believe me, it really is heaven at 7-11 in Taiwan.
