Dear Roma!

How are you feeling? I found out that you have some problem with your neck. I hope you are good and will read my letter really enjoyable.

I am planning to have some rest and take a short vacation. On this vacation I will chill with my grandmother and grandfather in their old village. I feel me very good when I am there, I feel me safety for the reason that when I was 5 years old I was there and I remember how I played with my grandmother and played chess with my grandfather (I still can not beat him). In my vacation I want to make some interesting stuff. For example: Talk with my grandmother and grandfather, go and see what is going on in the farm, and the main one make sure that my native people are okay. I would like to be there 2 weeks, and then I want to come and catch up afterwards with you.

See you after 2 weeks! (Darkhan)
