Mother's Day

It was Mother's Day, it was dramatic. I wouldn't want to survive such an atmosphere ever again. My mom had a sort of disagreement with my brother which triggered her temper and stormed out of the house without precising where she goes in the afternoon to comeback only close to midnight.

Yes, yes. Mothers are delicate creatures and if one doesn't handle with care, consequences can be extremely harmful.

That day, I woke up quite early in the morning and took advantage of the nice weather to go out take pictures on Yang Ming Shan. I went to 陽明書院, one of the residences of late Taiwan president Chiang Kai-shek. Although it is forbidden to take pictures in the residence, where late CKS received diplomats of all countries, I still managed to take some in the back of our guide.

In the first picture, the late president looks like batman in his portrait.

The room in the second picture is where he received and decided whether a military personnel would be promoted to general. This room has five doors that allows him to run away asap if someone (there should have been many at that time) wanted his life.

And this is the toilet that Madame CKS used. Everything inside is pink. Apparently, this couple didn't sleep on the same bed and used different bathrooms. Madame CKS' bathroom is pink-colored and her husband's is white-light blue.

Madame's bed is a single bed, while in the adjacent husband's room, the bed is a luxurious one for two people.

When I went home and was preparing to meet Thomas and James, my mom was already very unhappy, so I quickly rushed out to avoid being involved.
