(1461) MUSIC AND ME (Oct. 05, 2017) A VERY 'RARE' CHINESE BOY - Jin and his Friends


WITH 'BLACK' MARK ON HIS LEFT SIDE OF FACE
    The Chinese boy in the middle is the first kid that I met that appreciates having a souvenir from somebody. He gave me $1.00 and I gave him my card. He told his kid friends about it and 2 of them gave me a single dollar each and I gave them my card, too.

    A VERY 'RARE' CHINESE BOY
          (Jin and his Friends)

        On Oct. 04, 2017 at Waves Restaurant of Palau Royal Resort, I am playing music and there are lots of Chinese kids watching me. I noticed one of the boys have 'large black marks' on his left face.
        Minutes later, that boy gave me $1.00 tip. In appreciation, I gave him my card. He likes it. He told his friends about it and later, 2 kids (a boy and a girl) gave me $1.00 each and I gave them my card.

       There's a Dutch with his daughter watching also while I'm playing Chinese songs. His wife is Chinese. When he saw that I've got tips on top of the piano, he gave me $10.00 tip and proceed to the buffet to get some food.

We talked a little bit. He said his Chinese wife plays piano at the orchestra.

Two days later, I was told by a waitress that the boy with black mark is looking for me (it's my day off that night). When the boy realized that it's my day off, he just ask the waitress to give me a drawing and introduction of himself with a short note...

At the back of the paper, it's this...

A very thoughtful boy! Just like Rin Kita.
