Hong Kong(香港)

June 5th, 2004

　　Dear Jamie,

　　I have been in Hong Kong 1 three days now, and I'm having a great time. It's a very exciting place, and very 2 from London. Yesterday my friend 3 me around Hong Kong. It was a very 4 day, but I saw many interesting things. The first place 5 we visited was Hong Kong Park. We took exercise in the morning and saw many old people doing exercises. We also saw many different kinds of birds in the park.

　　After that, we walked to St John's Cathedral(圣约翰大教堂). I think it is 6 very old church in Hong Kong. It was very 7 there. Then we went to Victoria Peak(扯旗山). From the 8 , we could see all over Hong Kong. It was really wonderful.

　　After leaving the Peak, we had lunch in a restaurant, then we caught a bus to a supermarket. I did some 9 (and bought you a present). When we had finished shopping, we sat on the seaside for a watch. On the bus back to the hotel, we both felt tired 10 very happy. We enjoyed ourselves very much.

　　See you soon.

Yours,

Terry

I remember a time l went shopping on my first visit to Hung Kong．Coming from cold and cloudy England，I was prepared for the sun and dressed in a T-shirt and a short skirt．Not having much chance to enjoy the sun in the UK and having naturally fair skin(白皙皮肤)，my legs were very white．In the UK this is not a fashionable look at all．Most women spend every sunny day out in the suit trying to get darker skin．The darker the shin，the better the look．I have tried to get darker but nothing works for me!

    As I walked around one shop，two shop girls didn’t take their eyes off me the whole time，talking quietly to each other in Chinese．I began to feel uncomfortable and asked my friend if we could leave．After we left the shop, she asked me what was wrong．I complained(抱怨)about the shop girls being very rude and always looking at my legs．I was embarrassed(尴尬) that they were talking about my white skin．My friend laughed，“They weren’t laughing at you．They were saying how nice your legs are．Many Chinese women want to have white skin like yours．In fact，there are many beauty products in the shops to make skin whiter and a lot of money is spent on them．”

    It just goes to show that we are never happy with what we have．The grass is always greener on the other side．If the women of the West and East thought the same way，western women wouldn’t spend so much money on cream that makes skin darker and women from the East wouldn’t need to use cream that makes skin whiter．
