8 things about me

January 9th, 2008

Eddie Awad just tagged me.

1) I was born in 1971 and have a younger brother who will get married this year
2) I was for the first time in San Francisco in 1986
3) In 1990 I visited India
4) In 1991 I had a motorbike accident where I was quite lucky to break only two arms and one leg.
5) I have learnt to play Chinese chess in Vietnam in 2000. I am able to speak some Vietnamese
6) My family-in-law live in the Bakossi mountains in Cameroon
7) My kids are 4 and 5 years old and speak Swiss German better than me
8) My grand-parents live in their house in Jura. My grand-father is 95 and my grand-mother is 92, I love my grand-mother very much and we just opened a bottle of Champagne last Sunday 8-)

    Wow, lucky to break 3 limbs is a serious accident. You have good genes though with 2 grandparents over 90.
    Thanks for playing.

    I did not not know you speak Viet.

    I am always curious of people who visit my country.

    Were you vacationing there?

    I went back to my homeland a few years ago after leaving for 30 years.

    well, my pronunciation is so terrible that you will need a few hours before starting understanding anything (in English my pronunciation is not that good neither). Yes I was in holidays and I enjoyed it very much. I spent a few weeks in a small village in the countryside were nobody speaks English, I will never forget that experience and the sense of hospitality of Vietnamese people 8-)
