Let me note, for the record, that my appearance is not out of the ordinary for a Western man. I have learned, however, that my appearance is enough out of ordinary in the daily life of the average child here in Taiwan to cause a kind of rapt amazement.
容我說明一下，我的長相在西方人當中還算是平凡的，但對一般的台灣小孩而言，已足以教他們大吃一驚了。
