Once again, I wish we were colonized by the Spanish...
They have such nice Churches and cool traditions. And I could have ended up as Don something... =)
Call it coincidence, but I just found out I had an ancestor named Don Andres, who was part of the local nobility in his town. He later on settled in China, and supposedly traveled throughout Asia, including Japan, Malaysia and Hong Kong, where he stayed for months at a time!
By Malaysia, I mean Pulau Jerejak, which I'm told has a very interesting history :D
