It's been a very morose few days in Shanghai, the endless fine drizzle just doesn't let up! These might be days when I would usually get bored out of my mind and go spend a day at the mall buying useless things at cheap stores, window-shopping and gorging on fast-food.
Instead, I have decided to catch up with some friends in a more old-fashioned way, and compose a letter on fancy paper to a dear friend who is leaving China for graduate school in the US in just a few days.
Do you remember the feel of pen on paper? The fun of picking out nice paper to write on? Stuffing colorful envelopes with well thought-out words and nice wishes? It was fun and therapeutic, and I hope my friends enjoy it as a heartfelt little gift that will remind them of the good times we have spent together.
One of the best things about buying this kind of letter paper in China is the cute Chinglish on it. This one says:
