Sunday at the Coal Mine
Mining coal here must have been a hard life. Most employees were female.
Last Sunday we went out on a tour of an old coal mine area and had a lunch buffet. Here are a few shots. Annie, Cindy, Lisa and Willie. By the way, those aren't their true names. I am still working on their real names. Taiwanese people and other Chinese are polite enough to make up English names for us westerners. I never thought of making up a name that would be easy for Chinese speakers to understand. I think it's pretty western centric. So, because I have a job, medical, bank account etc., I've found that I need a Chinese name. Here it is. 柯傑洛 So from now on I want you all to call me by my Chinese name. Hardy har har.
