Letter 18

Hiya!

I'm sorry about your lost jacket, hope you find a replacement that's better than the first one (I just realized that it sounded like I was talking to a broken hearted teen boy haha).

There's this girl in my class (I'm not gonna mention the name because she would probably kill me for that), who is known for her goofiness and goldfish-memory. She told me that she has lost her phone multiple times and always have the fortune to get it back. One time it happened on a bus, her mother called the people who run the bus company, told them the exact time she got off the bus, and they found her phone and returned it shortly. But that's also because taiwan is such a tiny country, you can find anything or anyone easily (including criminals that are trying to run away, it really doesn't take long to find them).

I can smell your passion for baseball all the way from here! Pardon me but I cannot start any conversation about baseball because I don't know much about this sport, I have never watched an entire game before, ever!

Best wishes  Aubrey Chu~

Letter 17: My Holiday Booklet

My Holiday Booklet

We were asked to make a little journal about our winter vacation, 

this is how mine looks like.

Letter 16: Hello again, Tim!

It seemed like 3 years since we've received each other's letters. How's it going? I hope you and your family are doing well.

The winter holiday went by really quick, it only took a blink of an eye for us classmates to reunite again.

I didn't get to celebrate a proper Lunar New Year from 2011 to 2015 since I was abroad, we would still travel from Berlin to Hamburg by train to attend a big dinner party for the Chinese-speaking people. The people from the embassy, including the ambassador of Taiwan would attend that dinner. But it didn't feel like the New Year I remembered in my childhood. Now that I can celebrate the holiday properly in the country, I visit both sides of my grandparents. The tradition has a rule that the family must visit the grandparents of the father's side first, due to the gender inequality of the Chinese culture.

We gather everyone in the house and have lunch and dinner together. People would start to give out red envelopes and the children would say some blessings to the elderlies like wishing for them to be healthy and wealthy.

This holiday is one of a kind, you must at least experience it once in your life.

                                                               Warm Wishes, Aubrey Chu
