Honey,

I was waiting for your mail because you said that the matter was important. Hmmm...your sister got pregnant again. I know what you wanted to say and you know what I will say. We both know the reasons.

About your TOEFL, you are getting 55% correct. That is good, but you can improve. You definitely will. I know you are smart. Only thing is that you have to make up your mind.

Yesterday, we went to the carnival. So many people thronged the street. The parade will go, and they will be throwing sweets at us. I have got a very big collection of streets. People will be dressed in different ways.

Our boss was and his wife was like red Indians. His family was also there. They served us good and drinks. His mother, father, and uncle were also there dressed in funny costumes. People will be singing songs and saying "hallo" loudly. One song is 'zwei, drei, vier, funf, sechs, sieben, acht, oooooooo, I want to know, if you be my girl.' (zwei-2,3,4,5,6,7 and like that to acht-8). It was all fun. You should see it believe. All the people, old and young, will be scrambling for sweets thrown from the vehicles.

I remember the posters of your presidential candidate soon. Whom you will vote for?

This weekend was full of parties. Friday, all our group here went to a place called Sachsenhausen. Our boss said that it was his childhood favorite place. The place is full of pubs. And in the pubs, so many people will be there. And some music bands will be performing. Some places, it will be hard rock, some soft, like that...Saturday, we had a party in our hotel, my room, you know. Only my colleagues from India. Then on Sunday carnival...today again, back to work...

About Africa, Spain, and Malaysia, have you ever lived in a country where you could not speak your language? It will be ok for a few months or a year but after that? If we live together in Spain, we both cannot speak our local languages. Even English, only between us!!

A special day is coming very near...hmmm...

Love you

Kamal
