Sunday morning, late July, too hot for the beach so Julian and I took
time for a game of Go at the Green Cottage. Go is *the* classic
board game. You can learn the rules in minutes yet still be
learning how to play after years of experience.
Go ( 圍棋 ,Weiqi in Chinese, pronounced way-chee) is a part of classical
Chinese culture - you see pictures of people seated by a game board in
many traditional pictures. Despite that Go is not played much by Hong
Kong people today. So whenever we get the board out we expect comments
and questions from passers by. "Look at the Gweilos playing Weiqi!
Waah!".
This time instead of just pointing, a group of students asked to take a
picture too. No problem, but as I always do, I asked them to send
us a copy of the pictures. I didn't really expect to receive a
copy - most people lose the email address or forget or whatever.
But this time was different. This morning in my inbox was an email with
attached photos. Thank you Silvia! And I must say that Kira is
looking especially pretty in this one.
