Wonders of the Middle Kingdom

2004-- the year of the monkey!

Huanying! Huanying!
Welcome to my jia. Please, sit down, have some tea. Would you like some fruit? Were we in my hometown I'd offer you some strawberries and liqi, but alas, the Middle Kingdom is so very far away... Oh! Aiya! Forgive my ramblings, what kind of host am I? Here have some excellent grapes! I also have a little watermelon and some dates if you'd prefer those? No, alright. So... how have I deserved the honor of your visit to my humble home? Perhaps you wish to see my courtyard? The jasmine is beautiful this time of year! In the courtyard, you can view any and all of my few social activities if you so desire. Or perhaps, you came to see the library? I'm afraid it is a bit empty now, but hopefully in the future I'll be able to show you my interests in the Old Kingdom or other things. Of course, there is also my study. I don't much know why you would visit that, though. I don't really play games, so I don't have any scores or anything... but you're welcome to look! Aiya! I do hope I have not bored you! Did you just come to look or leave a message? By all means, go ahead! Please, my only desire is that you are most comfortable! Make yourself at home in my jia! And thank you for the honor of visiting me!!
Zai jian!!!

I had the honor of travelling with Sankhkare Thutmose to the great temple in Luxor!
