We stayed in Borneo island, Malaysia, from July 23rd to 31st.
We transfered in Hong Kong.
since we landed in Kai Tak airport
when my mother and I visited Hong Kong in the past.
On the very long moving walkway,
I told my youngest daughter how to exchange greetings.
"おはよう is 'Good morning,' and こんにちは is 'Hello!'"
She then got nervous thinking she would say something in English,
"おはよう is 'Good morning,' and こんにちは is 'Hello!'"
"What do you say? What do you say ...?"
I laughed and thought,
At last, she began to cry,
"I forgot how to say my name in English! I... I am...I don't know!"
She also added,
"I wish I wasn't Japanese, so I could speak English!"
"Being able to speak English doesn't mean that you're not Japanese."
And I hugged her.
And I hugged her.
