Cool.  You are exactly ONE day younger than my youngest brother.  My
birthday is in 6 days.  I will be 30 here in Taiwan, but only 29 back at
Mom's house in Dallas.

Which brings me to an ob/conlang: how do you say I'm X years old in your
conlang, and does that mean that you have had X anniversaries of your
birthdate (as in English) or that you have lived in all or part of X number
of years (as in Chinese).  Do you count from birth, conception or some other
event?
