Illustration Friday - Forgotten



True story:
My family took a trip to Taiwan when I was 10 years old (in 1981). I saw some awesome toy stores there, with some amazing toys straight from Japan. One time, when we were walking down the street in some small town, I stopped to look at some toys, then I looked up, and my family had moved on. I can't even begin to explain the panic feeling of being lost in a foreign country where no one speaks English (and I only know a few small phrases in Taiwanese- none of which would help in this situation). I think it was like 10-20 minutes before they found me again.

Taiwan in the 70s



These are my siblings (all except my younger brother who wasn't born yet) and my Grandma and Grandpa Chen somewhere in Taiwan, in 1971 or '72, I'm not sure...

I'm the littlest one in the picture (with Grandma)

I restored the heck out of this photo in Photoshop.
