Was at d'Klub at Macpherson the other Saturday arvo waiting for tuition to end and the oldest volunteer from CarElderly taught me how to play cards. My colleague helped with the translation but it was quite an experience hearing her explain in Cantonese! She's the oldest being 92 years of age and she still looks fit & thinks fast!
The aim of the game is to get 3 pairs of cards that equal 10. So 4 and 6 make 10, Ace and 9 make 10 etc. Call it luck but she kept winning all of us at the table! But!! I did win a set!
Despite the communication barrier, I was actually inspired to do some elderly community work!
