玩玩
A bit of a grab bag today. Via my friend a-Pei, an article in Chinese about weird names Chinese people give their children, either in general or in context (I’m not sure why most of them are weird, but it probably repays study; I do see you might not want to get into a car with a driver who happens to be called 吴安全)； an online common vocabulary dictionary for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean; and 天若有情, Liu Chang and A-Lin versions respectively.

不行，我起床的太晚啊，没有时间呢。大家怎么样？年底好好保重好好享受呀。

Hee! With you on that. Most of it is 100% over my head.

Happy holidays!

Same! When I have a little more time on my hands I'll try to figure some of them out.

节日快乐！
