why pacyforest?

While I am stalling to figure out what I want to post in this blog (books I read? upcoming work? family photos?) I thought I'd explain the title.

This character means tree:



When you put two tree characters together, it means forest.


And this is is my name in Chinese. My family and very close friends call me Pacy, a nickname from Pai Se.

So, my name "Pacy Lin" can be translated into "Pacy Forest" which is the name of this blog. The End!

i thought the character for tree/forest didn't have a hook at the bottom... just a straight vertical line... http://zhongwen.com/d/170/d76.gif
