Dear Paul,
Yesterday, I left home happily with my family, looking forward to a great trip to Shanghai. However, things didn’t go as I had expected.
Our plane was supposed to take off at 8:00 pm, but when we got to the airport, we were told that the plane was two hours late. When we finally arrived in Shanghai, it was already midnight. After walking out of the airport, we found it was raining. We felt very cold as we wore only a T-shirt and had not brought any extra clothes. What was worse, the hotel rooms were very expensive because we hadn’t booked one in advance. We didn’t fall asleep until 2 o’clock in the morning and now I have a headache. What a terrible night!
I hope the rest of our trip will go smoothly. And I’ll keep sharing it with you.
Yours,
Li Hua
