It's Nice to Know You're Thought of

So I went and checked my email the other day.. .

Oh and behold! I received a letter from one of the students of Anhui Normal University!!

"Dear Easten

you must be very strange to hear from me ,because we do know each other,let me make a brief self-introduction,my english name is ... ,i am a student in AnHui normal university,i am a english major and i will be a junior student next semester,perhaps i will be your student next semester when you come to wuhu.we will become student and teacher.
you also very be puzzled about how did i know you e-mail adress,it was daneil gave me your e-mail adress,danial is my oral english teacher this semester and we are good friends.

he told me you are a little nervous about coming to wuhu,i really do not know why.i cam promise you that all the students in our school are very friendly especiall english majors,all the foreign teachers have formed a good relation with all the students,so do not worry about it.

i am also a easy-going and livly boy,i am very glad to write to you and make friends with you.when danial told me that you were a little nervous about coming to wuhu,and i also felt nervous,because i hope you will live happily in our school.i will try my best to help you if you need some help.

maybe you worry about the diffences betweem America and China,they indeed have some diffences but you do not have to worry about them,you just need a short time then you will get used to it.such as danial ,when he first came to wuhu,he did not used to living in our school,for example,the food taste.in fact,the food in wuhu is very delicious,now he like it very much,and we use the chop-sticks to eat food,and this took danial a long time to get to used to it.And now he has completely got used to living in wuhu.

i will go back school at the end of Augest,then we can each other,i sure we will become good friends. if you are free keep in touch with me by e-mail.we can share something with each other have a good summer and a happy life in wuhu.

your unknown freind ..."

I think he thinks I'm white... =D

I emailed him back with a good chunk of pinyin Chinese, it should be cool to see how he reacts! It's so nice to know that students are already expecting me and like me already... ha ha...

One more week left in Maryland. It's been a great blessing so far. So many good friends and family showing me love and support. Oh, how I will miss you all!
