camwynGot a package today from my penpal in Wuhan. A while back I'd mentioned something about holidays... I think I may have wished him a happy Moon Festival, and mentioned that it was on my calendar. He offered to get me a Chinese calendar if I wanted one, and I said sure. Told him I'd send him an American one with lots of photos in exchange. The calendar arrived today...
I was expecting one of those paper ones that you see in Chinese restaurants, with a nice painting and all the months on the lower half of the paper. That would've been fine; those are neat to look at. What I got instead was a four-section folding affair of sturdier construction than most chessboards I've ever owned, months neatly numbered though not named, and metallic reflective sections for each of the zodiac animals. Unfolded, the thing's almost as long as my ARM.
I have got to find him a suitable reply gift. I simply wasn't expecting anything of this caliber.
