A Big Surprise

My coworker, Fish Wang, handed me two envelops this morning. He said that he found them in a pile of letters intended for the foreign labourers in our dorm. I was very surprised to see these letters.

They are from my friends abroad. One is from a German friend; the other is from Russia. My German friend sent the letter to me to wish me a happy birthday last year. I know nothing about the surprise letter. My Russian friend sent me a postcard of Vladivostok in June 2009. He told me about it, saying that he wanted to show me the beauty of the harbour.

However, I have never seen these two letters before today. I was waiting for the postcard from Vladivostok last summer and I did not get anything! I was sad and I told my friend that the postcard might have been lost somewhere along its trip to my dorm. Hence, I was not expecting to see these two letters this morning.

People rarely send snail mails nowadays, but for the receivers it's always a pleasure to read the letter on paper. I am so happy to open these two letters. This is the best surprise of the day!
