Hi May Lee, STAMP

I am so excited! Guess what! My family and I are

now in Penang Island. We just went up the
Penang Hill on a funicular railway. It was my first
experience. From the top of the hill, one can have
a birds eye view of the Penang Bridge, the
KOMTAR building, and the famous ferries. The
view was truly breathtaking.
Wish you were here.
Bye for now.

May Lee receives an email from her cousin who lives in Sarawak.

To maylee@mail.com
Subject Sarawak River Cruise
Dear May Lee,
How are you? I hope you are well. Everyone here is fine.
In your email, you wanted to know the best way to see the beautiful
city of Kuching. Well, one of the best ways is to go on a cruise along the
Sarawak River. The Sarawak River Cruise provides a unique and different
experience. Along your journey on the river, you will pass small house-like
boats called perahu tambang which are used to ferry locals across the river.
You will also see Malay kampung houses built on stilts and fishing villages.
Besides that, you will pass the Astana, which used to be Rajah Brookes
residence. Located next to Astana is Fort Margherita which is now a police
museum.
Before returning to Kuching city, you will cruise by the Satok Bridge.
Make sure you dont miss the new State Legislative Building. It is as grand as
a palace and resembles the Melanau tribal hat.

Thats all for now. Bye.

How are you? It is the school holiday here in Japan and I have been visiting a

She bought me two dresses and a pair of earrings.
You should visit me one day. I will take you to the best local restaurant
