Dear Linda,
Long time no see! How is everything going? I am on vacation with my family in China now and I am deeply impressed by the splendid landscapes and hospitable people here.
During our visit, we came across some manhole cover paintings on the street. I was so amazed at seeing them and I want to know more about them. Can you introduce more about these cute paintings to me?
Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours
Joe
