Now, I know that the letter sounds so kindergarten-y but you see, I have to translate this in German ( a homework my German teacher gave me) so I made it as simple and sort as possible. I’ll leave the letter to you as I have to go to my German class. Bye now! Tchus!

Dear Mailene,

Hello! How are you? I hope that this letter reaches you in good health and that everything is doing well with your and your family.

It’s been a long time since the last time we saw each other. I guess it’s more than five years now so we really have a lot to tell to each other! I will start. Do you know that I am now married? Really! At 26 years old, I am now a wife of a wonderful man and the story goes like this.

In November 2005, I came here in China to teach English and in the summer of 2006, I met a very interesting person. His name is Marcus and he is from Austria. He works as an automotive engineer. He is a very nice, smart, and simpatico (symphathetic) person. Plus, he is very handsome. I fell in love with him immediately and I am lucky that he fell in love with me too. And so, we got engaged in Malaysia last February 2007. It was very romantic and I would like to tell you all the details but it is so difficult for me to express it in German.

Anyway, the story continues. In October 2007, we got married in Austria. Our wedding was very simple but romantic. You have to excuse me if I can’t fully detail it as you know well, my German is still bad but if you want, I can show you some pictures.

I believe this is now my happy ending and I so would like to share it with you. I miss talking to you and I wish I can just go see (but we are to far from each other). Please write me back as I am dying to hear from you.

Your friend,
Vienna
