The exchange

I was at the in laws' over the weekend and as usual we slept in the guest room, which is now turning into a "Chinese" theme room. The wall is red, the bed is red, the window is red, the cloth stand is red.

Then I saw this. My FIL has finally finished his master piece art work. All the Chinese style symbols were gifts from my parents when they came visit last summer.


Let just say, 5 years ago when I had not appeared in my French family's life, they didn't use as much red and certainly would not have a room full of Chinese stuffs. Now they do. This is the power of exchange I guess.
