  1. Working on my Chinese Auntie zine. I am going to do a full double spread on what you would find in a Chinese Auntie's handbag. So far, I have: Tissues, White Flower Oil, White Rabbit lollies, folded up plastic bags, a hand fan (for singers and hong kong aunties), a plastic soup spoon. What else? #cantonese

  6. #SFMoMA . . .

    Drove into The City again yesterday to see the #Matisse exhibit focused on his painting "Femme au Chapeau" . . .

    Haven't been to SF MoMa or that part of town in years & it was worth the trip.

    Afterward, my companion & I went to the restaurant #Fang around the corner but it was a disappointment & then went to #SF #Chinatown to give my companion a tour of some of the sites relevant to my family history & buy some #Cantonese style beef jerky (gnow yuk gon) & dried sausage (lop cherng) at a place on Clay called #Wycen (that makes them both just like it was made my family's (now defunct) Chinatown meat market) before heading home.

    In contrast to last weekend, it was a GREAT trip!!! 😊

  16. Sometimes you're lucky and find good old stuff (here: 2009/2010) “archived” on Bandcamp. In this case it’s “My Little Airport” from Hong Kong. Understandably, while a song title like “Donald Tsang, Please Die” fell under artistic expression back then, the current … regime? … understandably takes a different view.

    Music is fun-minimalistic, sometimes a bit chip-tuneish. Pity that I completely missed them the time I was over there.

  21. Hey #cantonese people. Are there any word combinations that you find amusing or endearing when directly translated into English! i.e. computer = electric brain. I am making a zine and need ideas.

  26. Turns out there's at least one person out there who nerds out to the #linguistics of #Cantonese kinship terms and terms of address. Kinship is a bit more complex than it is in Mandarin #Chinese and that's already substantially more complicated than in European languages. (Most contemporary speakers don't really know and/or use the fully nuanced terms though. I certainly don't as a heritage speaker.)

  31. @MLNow My mother used to take me to a #ChineseOpera for company when I was a child but I hated it because I didn't speak or understand the language (& still don't beyond a very rudimentary level) & the because the sound was so "foreign" & unappealing to me. 🤷‍♂️

    I couldn't even stand to listen to the entirety of the short Chinese Opera audio clip embedded in this article. 🤢

    She stopped taking me any Chinese opera performances because I was very vocal about not liking it &, unlike my inability to speak #Cantonese better, I do not regret not attending another Chinese Opera performance since.

    OBTW, I don't much like attending or listening to European Opera either. 🤷‍♂️

  36. My grandmother was really into Chinese medicine. Herbals stuff and oils and tinctures. This is one of the things she would use on us! I always thought it was from Hong Kong but it’s from Ipoh in Malaysia! It’s the Chinese version of Vick’s vapour rub #cantonese
