　　dear tien- tien (sweet-sweet),

　　how are you? have you made any plans for the winter vacation yet? i have been thinking of going to the east coast and staying in hualien for two days. how about joining me? we could make it an around-the-island tour. if time is short, we could fly down to hualien and then take the train back along the eastern coast. there will be lots of beautiful scenic spots for pictures! give me a call or write me a note as soon as you decide.

　　yours affectionately,
