As always, my pleasure to receive your mail, Pak Bima! please don’t hesitate.
Right now i’m in a hurry (going out to have dinner at a friend’s house), but just before
i go, i’d like to forward you a weblink. it turns out there are 5 shops in the city of Enschede,
where the campus of Univercity of Twente is located. Those are specialized in selling
Indonesian/Asian food stuff. No, not a market, but a shop where we can buy Indonesian
spices and ingredients (like soy sauce, hot chilli, coconut milk, cooking oil, etc.). Most of
these shops, that we call toko, or ndische toko, usually also sell few ready made foods.
Let me tell you. Perhaps one of the toko mentioned on this webpage is near where
your daughter is staying. Otherwise she needs to check them out. She has a bicycle, doesn’t
she? Even I visit an Indonesian toko every now-and-then (it’s not near my house, I need to
ride my bicycle to get there) and I often buy tea (teh Jawa) there, soy sauce or other spices
(daun salam, daun jeruk purut).
So check this out, and maybe forward this information to your daughter : Toko
Enschede tokogids.nl. Good luck!
Bye for now,
Caroline

Dear David,
All the best to you for the New Year! How are things going in the Land of the Rising
Sun? I must say, I realy envy you getting that Tokyo gig with the company. Somehow they
overlooked me on that one and I am forced to slug it out here.
I heard through the breeze that business is going well there. Rumor has it that you
guys are just about to close a big deal with the government for an M-750 Simulator. Great
news! Good for the company and good for you. Keep up the great work!
Did you hear about Margie Bronson suddenly leaving the company just before year-
end? It was a bit of shock to say the least. She gave one week’s notice and was gone.
Nobodyknows for sure what’s up with her, but rumors have been flying fast and furious that
she went through a bit of a personal meltdown and has now gone underground to lick her
wounds for a while. There could be some truth to that since her long time relationship ended
recently and three months ago she was passed over for that director position that was up for
grabs. I’ll keep you posted when we find out more.
As for me, I am quite busy these days on the Branscombe Systems Project. We are
entering Phase Two now, and that is expected to run for three years, at least. Frank Schindler
is Senior Project Manager and I am Team Leader of the Embedded Systems Group. I am
enjoying it so far. Whatever I’ll feel the same wayin three years, I’m not sure. By then I
might be ready to join you in Japan.
I’m still kicking butt in the squash court and am managing to get in two or thre
matches per week. What about squash in Japan? Have you been able to play any over there?
Are there even any squash courts? I suppose since you are in Tokyo, there must be some. Let
me know.
I have to go now and attend to familu duties. Jonathon needs some help with his
homework and Angle wants me to fix something in the kitchen. You single guys traveling the
world sure are lucky!
Keep me posted whenever you can. I really enjoy receiving you letters and getting the
details of your life in Japan.
Your buddy.
Tara

Hello!
How are you, sweetie? I know you are angry with me becase I am writing to you a
long time. I am so sorry please forgive me.
You know, We are in Lombok right now. It is so beautiful beyond imagination. I am
writing to you from this really cute on the Senggigi Beach. As you know, mom loves
shopping so she goes and will go for hours. I took a rain check from shopping and decided to
write to you while enjoying my cup of coffe.
You know, yesterday we went to Gili Nanggu Island; it is a beach on the southwest of
Lombok. The place is awesome. It is so beautiful that i couldn’t believe m eyes. There are
beautiful coral reefs would have ben much more fun.
Mom makes sure we don’t miss any sight in the whole city, so we’ve practically been
everywhere I have to go, mom is here. I will see you soon.
Lots of loveXOXO
Lana
Happy birthday and congratulation! You are allowed to drive now. I can’t believe you
are seventeen now. I remembered you always run around the house when you were a child.
Sorry, I couldn’t return home on time to ettend the party. The ship where I have been
working postponed its cruise because of a huge storm. It was catastrophic. The wind was so
strong that it could move cars and lift trees. However, everything is fine now. We can sail
again now.
Along with this letter, I sent you a special present . I hope you’ll like it. Tell mom and
dad I’ll be back next month
Your brother,
Damar
