Dear John, How are you doing? Do you have plans for summer? I will visit Hong Kong during summer holiday. If you don’t have any plans, would you like to be my tour guide? I will be in Hong Kong on Tuesday 25th July, 2006. This will be my second visit to Hong Kong. Two years ago, I visited Hong Kong with my parents. We had a fantastic time. We visited the giant panda at the Ocean Park. We watched the dolphin show and the aquarium there too. Also, we rode on the rollercoaster. It was exciting. We took the peak tram to the peak once. This was my first time to ride in a peak tram. We had dinner in a floating restaurant. It was funny. But I didn’t have enough time to buy souvenirs, I need to buy a lot for my friends this time around.
On the other hand, I have already visited Mickey Mouse and Friends all around the world. So, I would like to pay them a visit in Hong Kong too. Please help me organize a one day tour that can fulfill my needs.
Take care. Love, May
Please be my tour guide
