the reason is simple. i just want to see you.
and the way to go to your city is using some search engines on the Web.
regretfully at the present i have less money to go to your country.
if i have i'll surely go to your place.
(this situation will last at least one more year and
the following period of the year is not within sight.)

yes. you wrote your address in your beautiful New Years Greeting Card.
i received it on Dec 28, 1999. Thanks!

i express my regret over the death of your grandmother.
perhaps she loved you so much and felt anxiety about you.
by the way, why do you dislike the place? i want to know it
if you don't care.
if you'll remove to any other town, be sure to promise to tell me
your new address.

you mean that T.... is a region developed in early time?
maybe you look upon it as a little not up-to-date now, don't you?

Glad! that will be so nice!
i got the chinese GB system on Dec 12 when i received your first mail
since you stop your part-time job. there mingled chinese letters
in your mail. so i had to get it to read the mail.

of course ok! i can wait you for any long time.

i'm very pleased to hear that. i'll go to your country someday
and meet you. whether it might be far future or soon is unknown.
but the probability is not zero, i believe. however i'll never
go to your place without your explicit permission before hand.

my virtual trip to your city had been so much wonderful one.
i truly wish to see you in the future and hope you too.

bye for now. i'll write you a little more tomorrow.(are you tired?)
i know you have very less time to access the net and English is
your foreign language (me too). but now you can access the net only
once a week. then i inevitably write you so much...
how can i do? or how should i do?
