Jkk Posted February 22, 2018 at 12:29 PM Author Report Posted February 22, 2018 at 12:29 PM It was a friend actually, years ago. She met this Chinese gal at a station. The gal told her, with whatever little English she knew, she was lost and that she was an exchange student from China. She was gonna be there for a week. So my friend took her to her place, served tea and took her to China town. The gal left that postcard before she left for China. Sweet ha? 1 Quote
Jkk Posted February 22, 2018 at 12:31 PM Author Report Posted February 22, 2018 at 12:31 PM Roddy, I'm not sure lol She doesn't even know I have posted it here. I was kinda desperate to help her. I mean she thought I was Chinese and showed it to me? So I'd rather you didn't. Pliz! 1 Quote

One thing led to another and... well, kids, that's how I met your mother. And also, why you have to go to Mandarin class. I'm in way too deep to tell her the truth now." 1 Quote

Thank you for the help you have given me in the US. The happy times I spent with you are my most unforgettable memory of Chicago. You are my best friend, I will never forget you, I hope you are well and happy. I look forward to us meeting again.' Literal translation, the Chinese is a bit more natural of course. 1 Quote
