Quick fyi, on tai-tai, xiansheng

Husband post -
Btw, the cafe we ate at on Monday is called Fei Tai-tai. Which is, basically, "Mrs. Fei's".

Tai-tai(pronounced tie-tie with falling tone) means wife and Xiansheng (pronounced see-en-shung) means husband. But they're also used for Mrs. and Mr. respectively. So, for example, Kimberly is Armstrong Tai-tai, and I am Armstrong Xiansheng.
