Dear Li Ping,

    How are things with you? It was great talking to you yesterday by phone. As I told you yesterday, I am in Jiangsu today. Tomorrow we are getting the train down to the south of the country and then a ship across to Shanghai.

    Let me tell you about the places we have visited so far. I know you want to come here on vacation one day! We started in Zibo and we spent two days in Jinan. We visited many different places and enjoyed lots of things. And the only bad thing was the weather- it rained the whole time when we were there. Can you believe it?

    At least when we got to Jiangsu, the sun was shining! We only stayed for one afternoon in Jiangsu because my friends really wanted to visit Disneyland which is in Shanghai.

    I bought you a surprise gift here. I hope you will like it. OK. That's enough from me for now. I want to post this letter now so you can get it by the weekend.

    See you soon!

Ma Hua
