Dear Sally,

How´s life back in Bristol? I´m having a great time in Shangai with my
Aunt Pat and I´ve already made some friends. The flight to Dubai was
fine. No one sat next to me so it was a quiet flight. I wanted to read my
book but the light was too bad, so I listened to a CD.
When I got to Dubai, I had to get another flight to Shangai. It was
much worse than the earlier one because I had to talk to a boring man and
the food was disgusting. The good thing was the film, Spiderman 2. Have
you seen it? It was great. I was also glad and I´d chosen to sit next to
the window because I didn´t feel sick.
Shangai is a beatiful city and has many modern buildings. There aren´t a
lot of museums or galleries there, but the restaurants are brilliant.
We´ve been going out to eat every night. Aunt Pat told me that there
isn´t a lot of crime in the area so I feel safe on my own.
I really like two of my cousins, Lucy and Heather. I´m not sure about
Tom. It´s not that he´s unfriendly or boring, but he never tidies up. His
room is such a mess! Lucy´s great. She´s been showing me around Shangai
and I´ve met some of her friends. When I first arrived, I didn´t know
how to get into the town centre. She was really patient with me and told
me where all the buses were. She sometimes makes me see red, but I
really like her.
What´s the weather like in Bristol? When I first arrived here, it
wouldn´t stop raining, but for the last two days there hasn´t been a cloud
in the sky. It´s been really warm.
I can´t wait to see you next month. I hope you´re having fun. Write or
send me an e-mail.
Love,
Karen.
