Dear Paul,
T'm keeping my promise to write you just as I said. I want you to know that
T'm having a lot of fun on this tour. We've visited lots of interesting places, and a
couple of days ago, I accidentally met an old friend, Sakiyama, from Japan. He and
I met by chance at the water market!. Now, we visit it often.
At the water market, we relax while we enjoy the smell of large green onions,
tomatoes, and vegetables that you can't find at home. It’s a good chance for me to
try the sweet and sour tastes of fruits that are new to me. There are so many kinds
of fruits here that I won't even attempt to describe them. I have never smelled or
tasted anything like this in all my life! I enjoy going there and buying different
things for refreshments.
You can probably guess that everything is going smoothly for me. I think I
might cancel the last part of the tour to Thailand. Sakiyama wants me to meet his
family and tour Japan. This will be a great chance to meet a family in a foreign
country. Sakiyama promises me that his folks will make me feel at home? and not
like a tourist.
Til write you again as soon as I decide. Tell Bill and everyone hello for me.
Your Friend,
Jack
1 water market = a place where fruits and vegetables are for sale from boats on the river
