Yea. Went back last year. At first I was happy and excited, but when we were back, things didn't turned out to be what I thought.
A few dozen relatives flowed into our old house at New Year Eve. Most of them I didn't even know what to address them =.= and for cousins or nephews that are around my age, hadn't met for so long that we were just like strangers when seeing each other. Awkward.
Well that was still okay. I still remembered I greeted one of my relatives while he was chatting with my grandma. He shot me a sideways glance and pretend that he didn’t hear me. After he finished the conversation he turned his head to me and said: “Eh, become fat”
Ha ha. So "friendly". What kind of greeting was that. Grr whatever.
Luckily others were nice and friendly. Btw the good things were I received lots of "Angpau", play with my cute little cousins who are now living oversea and had "showed off" my broken dialect while talking to my grandma. = = It was really broken. Even I myself didn't really know what I said.
