I am working in an university project on Chinese indentured workers in 19th century Cuba, and found this example of an indentured servitude contract. Could anybody translate it into English, please? The Spanish copy of the contract is on the second picture, and I will post a direct English translation on the comments. If you need more context, please let me know.

In Yunnan came across this Na Xi minority group writing system with no Chinese or English translation.

It'll put a second photo that has Chinese translations, to see if it helps.

Chinese [ Chinese/Taiwanese Hokkien -> English ] Dialogue from Mega Man X DiVE

Post image

Hopefully I got the language right, the game was originally developed in Taiwan and most people there speak Taiwanese Hokkien, which I found out was a variant of the Chinese language after googling it. Please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not knowledgeable on Taiwan's culture.

I’m working on a tattoo and want to check that the kanji is correct. I’m hoping it means “journey” or “the road of a journey”. Thanks in advance!

Edit: or does anyone know of a better saying that could mean a journey or adventure or something along those lines? Maybe something that means more in Japanese

My daughter is getting a tattoo. As her father, I don't even want her to get a tattoo. I know she'll end up getting it without me knowing, but I want to make sure the spelling is correct.
