Thanks a lot for your letter – it was great to hear from
you again and we're delighted you can come and stay
with us.
There are some social customs you should remember. You
shouldn't wear shorts in pagoda. After meal, you should ask
for permission before leaving. And you must not drop litter.
You also should not speak loudly in public and must queue in
public.
That's all for now, then. We'll see you at the airport on
April 10th.
Best wishes,
