Today the 6th of August of 2023 has been a fabulous day here on Lulu Island to do with my Fijian neighbours, the Wongs, who are partly Chinese and partly East Indian. Moli the grandma has given us about a dozen green figs from her backyard trees. (Incidentally, her name means "orange" in Fijian.) In return, Mama has me give them Swiss chard and three green poblanos, grown by my elder brother Fernando in Vancouver. Moli has given us her exotic cooking. In Moli's kitchen, her husband Leong and she are watching a Sunday church television show. I know that the Wongs are Catholic, but the show is not. In the corner of Moli's kitchen is fully decorated with Fijian masks, etc., which intrigue me, being an art collector myself. I talk with her grownup kids Sandra and Isaac. The Wongs resemble Japanese to me. Sandra and Isaac will be visiting Western Europe in September. Sandra and Moli have previously been to Greece. I recount my experience there with amazing whitewashed buildings with blue roofs. I say to them that some Japanese fantasize to live in a Mediterranean village. I say that some of my Greek-Jew ancestors from Greece settled in Panama, so I have relatives there today. My great-grandfather instead went to the Philippines. Sandra has visited Costa Rica.

Some Japanese joke that I'm in "Liverpool." Many of them consider my English more British than American. I think that some Japanese fantasize marrying whites, as did my high school classmate Derek M. of Japanese ancestry. English is something that Japanese now learn from about Grade 5, age 10. But I think that English in Japan is something like French in BC. The English are looked upon as a highly progressive group, despite being known for being snooty or even rude. If people knew me, they would know that I find more wealth in learning Australian Aboriginal languages or Amerindian languages. I have a different view of "wealth" from other people. I find more enjoyment in Latino languages such as Spanish, French, Portuguese, Catalan, Italian, Chabacano, Esperanto, and Interlingua, all of which I do know in varying degrees. English is not my preference, as I do find it ordinary. I delve into Orientalism, as Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Thai, and Vietnamese. Esperanto and Lojban increasingly encapsulate my varied rainbow interests of the East and West.
