Hello Eckman Oshiro Jason Ed Chaya Claire and all, Sorry,Jason for not announcing my whereabouts before my family and left for Lublin,a beautiful eastern city of Poland for the weekend!:( I did tell Oshiro and Eckman last Thursday by accident though.;)
We just got back 3 hours ago and I love every minute of it!!! Come on,Oshiro!Claire wasn't born yesterday,and it won't be that easy to scare her!LOL My betterhalf and I used to exchange letters for 3 years 23 years ago with the same snail speed...10 days for a letter to travel from Taiwan to South Africa! I think Eckman actually enjoyed this slow motion of waiting period as much as I did,didn't you,Eckman? It is more romantic to me because it involves 'patience'.;) E-mails make communication so much easier and faster.One of the disandantages is Internet produces many more long-distance instant romance that can be too cheap and tacky for an old-fashioned person like me...:( I've read all 9 messages and will be back tomorrow to catch up with you all. Hope you all had a wonderful weekend as well! Good night,everyone!
