I was pleasantly surprised when one of the teachers brought a large box to me at the end of the day this past week. I opened it right there at my desk because I did not have the patience to wait until I walked home. Upon opening it I discovered an amazing assortment of wonderful items that are extremely edible as well as a package of handmade cards (I am guessing handmade, hope that is right). I took out each item one by one and then read through all the cards. It made me a little homesick. Upon reading all the cards, which where Christmas/good wishes cards I realized this box was sent by a group of wonderful young ladies from my Church who I miss seeing every Sunday and giving hugs. I was extremely kind of you to send me a box of completely unhealthy American candy and the cereal (which was a brilliant choice). I have read all the cards several times and can feel the love.
I did share some of the candy with the other teachers in the office for they have never had some of the candy. I gave them each a Twizzlers. It was not really like any Chinese candy that I was aware of and I am not sure they really liked it. I think it was too hard to chew for them. They did love the Reese's and some of them took more than one. Those were the only two things I shared since many of them were going home. I have had a few other of my Chinese friends try a few pieces of the other candy and they have had positive reviews. Do not worry I am eating it too.
I cannot not comment on the many stamps that were placed on the package, as you can see below. It made me laugh. Not sure if it was completely done on purpose, or if that was how they had to put the postage but I loved it. Props to whoever had to stick all the stamps correctly on the package. I probably would have messed it up somehow. Thank you and I have a hug saved for all of you when I get home : ) You made my month!!!
How fun!!! What a great bunch of friends!
