Inside Uncle's House

This is Uncle's house, where I stayed. It's old and big and made of wood. At first it was a little scary, but somehow it makes me feel safe.

The photos, as text

  1. 1The living room. This is where we watch TV and relax together after dinner.
  2. 2The kitchen. We all eat here together. All together: that's the rule at Uncle's house.
  3. 3There's a bath past the kitchen too. After dinner, I go take my bath all on my own.
  4. 4The TV side of the living room. The clock on top of the TV tells you roughly what time it is.
  5. 5The hallway. Up top are the stairs to the second floor, right is the entrance, left is the living room. Bottom left is the veranda.
  6. 6The entrance. On the hanger next to the slipper rack hangs the hat of the big brother who died.
  7. 7Uncle and Auntie's bedroom. Next to the closet there's a small family altar.
  8. 8The house, seen from outside the veranda. Sometimes I played with Ken-bo the dog.
