Today, I received a well-worn and well-traveled box from China. It was sent from Chengdu on December 17, 2020. It was shipped via land, according to the information on the box. How does that even work? I do not know. It arrived in one piece, and inside was a beautiful Christmas gift from one of my students.
I didn't know that it was coming. It was a total surprise! I don't care how late it is. I love it so much!
I looked up the story of the Nine-Colored Deer and read it online. I even found a Chinese cartoon to watch, even though I can't understand what they are saying. You can actually understand a lot of a cartoon story without understanding the words.
Now, what do I send back to China as a gift to my student and her mother? How long will it take to get there?
