"How old are you?" It may be weird to be asked this question by strangers in the US, but not in every culture.
5月24日,我來到亞塞拜然北邊深山裡、接近俄羅斯邊界的小村Xinalug,那時候整個村裡只有我和另一個背包客;我在建造於山頂上、全部用石頭砌成的房屋之間走著,村裡的男孩突然用發音還不錯的英文問我「你叫什麼名字?」「你幾歲?」「你從哪裡來?」我回答了他們所有問題然後就⋯⋯沒有然後了,或許這就是他們在學校學到基本英文的其中幾句吧?
他們不是村裡唯一嘗試和我搭話的人,也有些成年男性向我問好,並且問我需不需要地方住,猜想對他們來說這是賺外快的方法;不過當我向他們說明自己不過夜之後,他們就像正常的朋友那樣對話,絲毫沒有那種想無所不用其極從你身上榨出錢來的感覺。這種還沒被觀光業破壞、還未遭到銅臭味污染的人情味,是我喜歡高加索山的原因之一。
On May 24, I visited Xinalug, a remote village in the mountainous Northern Azerbaijan near the Russian border. While walking through stone built houses on top of a mountain as one of the only two visitors there, a couple of boys looked at me and asked "what's your name?" "How old are you?" "Where are you from?" Their English pronunciation was surprisingly good, but our conversation ended after these 3 Q&A's. I guess these are probably some of the few English sentences they learned from school.
To be honest, they're not the only locals who tried to talk to me with simple English. Several other adults also asked if I need a place to stay overnight, which is for them a business opportunity. But as soon as I said I didn't need it, they simply talked to me as guests without pushing me to spend money on anything. This is something I really liked about the Caucasus -- the locals are not yet contaminated by tourists, and you don't need to worry about being plundered by them.

【玳瑚師父玄學論】 《妳你的姓,妳你的名》
The Surname & Name of Yours (English version below)
那一天的《以茶會友》,在來客要回府前,機緣巧合下,吾隨筆當場演化,難得一見的「姓名大法」第三層功力,在座的每一位無不驚嘆有佳,獲益匪淺,歡喜而去。但是,她他們雖嘆未曾有,吾卻感嘆始終還有如此多人不識姓名的內涵與重要。就因如此,吾還得教授大家姓名另一層次的學問。
打個比方說,有三個人要為他們的子女命名,可是他們都是不諳姓名學的,于是,害了自己的子女。障礙終生以外,還得飽受她他人的嘲笑。這三個人分別姓馬、姓麥及姓倪,他們「無知」地為他們的子女命名如下:
馬必清
麥仙
倪友賓
顧名思義,姓馬的那一位,是想讓其公子一生做人清白。姓麥的那一位,則希望其千金,一生快樂清雅似神仙。姓倪那一位,則希望其公子對所有的友人,視如貴賓,常樂境安。可是卻無心插柳,讓他們的子女,成為廣大的笑柄。可憐啊!可憐。
姓馬的公子,因為取了馬必清,音似馬屁精,而成為職場上最不受歡迎的人。姓麥的千金,因為取了麥仙,音似福建話的,不要吹牛,害得她被人誤以為,很會蓋。至於姓倪的公子,運氣看來較差,取名為倪友賓,音似你有病,導致少人敢或肯接近他,同樣可憐。
相信不用吾說,大家應已知曉,吾要告訴大家,命名必須得注意字意與字音,勿讓妳你寶貝子女無法抬頭做人。
----------------------
That day at the Tea Session, just before everyone was about to leave, an affinity arose and I wielded my pen to demonstrate the rarely seen Art of the Name Level 3. They were amazed and benefited immensely. Alas, as they expressed their amazement, I felt sorry that many people still do not understand the importance and intension of a name. Therefore, I shall now impart to everyone another knowledge level behind the Art of the Name.
Take for example, there are 3 persons who choose a name for their children. However, they are not versed in the art of name selection and as a result, bring harm to their children. Besides setting up obstacles for their children's lives, the children are made the brunt of many cruel jokes. These 3 persons has the surname of "Ma", "Mai" and "Ni" respectively, and they unknowingly gave the following names to their children:
馬必清 Ma Bi Qing
麥仙 Mai Xian
倪友賓 Ni You Bing
As the name implies, Mr Ma aspires his son to be a clean-handed person, while Mr Mai hopes for his daughter to be as happy and elegant like a fairy. Mr Ni wishes for his son to treat all his friends like honoured guests and be happy and safe always. However, their good intentions turned out to be crude jokes made on their children. How pitiful!
The son with the name "馬必清 Ma Bi Qing" has similar pronunciation as "馬屁精 Ma Pi Jing" which means a bootlicker. He subsequently became the most unpopular person at work. The daughter with the name "麥仙 Mai Xian" has a name that sounds like "Mai Xian" in Hokkien which means not to brag. This causes her to be misunderstood as a braggart. The son with the name "倪友賓 Ni You Bing" is no better off either. His name sounds like you are ill. That causes people around him to avoid him like a plague. How pathetic!
Without me saying, everyone should know by now that in choosing a name, you ought to take note of the meaning and pronunciation of a character, so as not to let your children hang their heads in shame.

TV show on new Taiwan residents to air in June

The first ever TV program documenting the lives of new Taiwan residents is set to air in June on Taipei City-based Chinese Television System’s Education and Culture channel.
Broadcast in Indonesian, Thai and Vietnamese with Chinese subtitles, “Happy New Residents” differs from previous offerings in that the stars express themselves in their mother tongues and a manner in which they feel comfortable. Each of the 10 episodes runs for 60 minutes and utilizes a variety of formats like drama and talk show.
Program producer Allen Chien and his Vietnamese wife Phyllis Tran are the brains behind the concept, coming up with the idea after failing to find similar shows on the more than 100 channels available in Taiwan.
“Despite starting new lives in Taiwan, new immigrants still want to have cultural connections with their home countries and territories,” Tran said March 1. “Entertainment shows are a good way to maintain and spotlight these ties.”
According to Tran, the talk show is based on hit local program “Queen.” Guests discuss hot topics and issues of concerns for women, as well as teaching new residents how to dress spectacularly for less than NT$3,000 (US$96).
Funding the project with NT$4 million raised through various community-based undertakings, the couple also secured NT$8.85 million in support from the National Immigration Agency. CTS is covering technical expenditures up to NT$20 million.
A total of 17 new immigrants, their local friends and students from Southeast Asia attended the first preshoot March 1. They included Radio Taiwan International’s Vietnamese-language host Vy Fann, aka Vietnam’s equivalent of Singaporean actress Fann Wong; TV drama actress Anny Ting from Indonesia, also a winner of a cooking contest for foreigners; Thailand’s Julalak Wu who serves as an editor-translator for “4-Way Voice,” a monthly publication for immigrants from Southeast Asia; and Zhao Erjuan, founder of an association for mainland Chinese spouses in Taiwan.
According to Chien, the choice of a temple plaza for the setting of the first episode was a no-brainer. “This is the place where the touching qualities of Taiwan people are on full display,” he said, adding that new residents will play retailers interacting with local customers as a way of demonstrating strong work ethics in their new home.
During rehearsal, several new residents tried to modify their pronunciation, but Chien encouraged them to speak naturally. “Accents are one of your distinctive characteristics and will make your performance much livelier.”
Themes for other episodes include afternoon tea, cultural explorations, current fashion trends, getting fit, online shopping and Taipei City Government’s YouBike.
Government data reveals there are 710,000-plus foreign spouses and their offspring in Taiwan, making the demographic the fourth-largest in Taiwan. (VS-JSM)
