If only my Chinese were as awesome as his English

Dear All,

As George and I are struggling through 30 lessons on CD of Pimsleur's Chinese (so far we can order two beers and ask someone back to our place: let the Chinese seduction begin!) I become reminincent about when I could have started learning Chinese, like back before Christmas or during those 3 semesters of Mandarian I took in college. Especially when I get my signed visa application and our hero, Allan who has been so helpful in Hangzhou, with everything writes us the best note yet:

"Dear Elaine:
Glad to hear that, wish a nice holiday of Christmas!!!
Kindest regards,
Allan"

And I cannot even count past twenty.

Sending you all the kindest regards,
Elaine
