Three.
Four on tequila.
Then I'm like, I don't even know what I'm saying.
I was raised in Japanese.
And then when I came to the States, because the Taiwanese side took me.
Oh, so my dad had full custody of me in Japan.
And then my grandma took me from him and brought me to the States.
That's like a two month vacation.
And then so then that's how they, it was kind of, it was kind of like a kidnapping.
I was eight.
Yeah.
So that's when I came.
And then because I was suddenly with my Taiwanese side of the family too, that's when I, you know, and we stayed with my mom and my uncle and aunt who were already in Los Angeles.
They're also Taiwanese.
So at the same time I was learning English, I learned Mandarin too because I was hearing it in the house.
Suddenly.
