Dear dadi from Shanghai

Hi from Shanghai dadi! We're here now, just like you always said we would eventually end up. So many new things to learn from living in China and I know if you were here, you would give me lots of good advice (especially since you lived in China for work too). I miss all your good advice. And I know if you came here to visit, you would find and try all the good restaurants near us so you can take me to them too.

I now realize that my love for finding and exploring restaurants must come from you! Now that I think back, I always remember you finding restaurants for us to try even when I was little, whether we were in NJ, Hsinchu, Taipei, HK, China, California, everywhere. I'm like that too! And I love recommending places to eat, just like you always did. Funny how I see more of your traits in me all the time.

I saw Nai-Nai and all the uncles, aunts, cousins in LA before we moved to Shanghai... it was really nice to see your big family. They are so funny and cute. I know they all miss you like me and momi do too. Nai-Nai always says she misses you a lot.

Love,
L.A. ;-)
