Dear Chris,
How was your journey home?
I'm still excited about what we experienced together during the ChinaIreland Cultural Festival. The lectures we attended, the movies we watched, and the exhibitions we visited were really impressive. I certainly learned a lot about the Irish culture. What is amazing is that I gained a deeper understanding of my own culture as well.
I hope I can visit Ireland some day and gain firsthand experience of your culture. I also hope you will come to China again sometime. Let's keep in touch.
Yours,
Li Hua
