Hey Steffy,
Well I just got into to Beijing last night and so far its amazing here. This is the first time I've been to China. I wish you were here, we'd have a lot of fun. Anyways, I just wanted to write you an email to let you know I haven't forgotten about you. I also hope that you are doing well right now and having fun. The tournament starts tomorrow and lasts for four days, and then it looks like I'm back on the plane this coming Thursday. So I should be back by this coming Friday.

DARIN!
Wow, Did you go up the great wall thingy? Just had the friday sleepover, and from the way things turned out i would so wanna be in China with you. I'm in Jesse's room now, my Mac kinda crashed, literally yeah i'm a klutz i know. I haven't forgotten about you too well it's only been one day. Yay another reason to TGIF ! Can't wait, i'm dying of boredom here.

No lol, I haven't gotten the chance to see the Great Wall of China. I've been too busy with registration and all that fun stuff for the tournament. It took all day today just to get through the masses of lines to get myself on the roster. Now that I got that over with I have the next day to do what I want. So I guess I'll go do some sight seeing or something. No point in coming all the way to China without checking the place out.
So what happened at this sleepover? Doesn't sound like it went to well. Drama I'm assuming? I'm kind of glad I wasn't there. I don't care much for the drama... But don't worry, I'll be back soon. By the way, some of the guys here look really tough. Don't say anything, but they intimidate me a bit more than Carter ever could. Seriously.

Awws… hang tough! I heard Bradley is competing, and you still have to come back in one piece okay? I’ve been to the Great Wall but I’m really scared of heights so that attempt pretty much flopped. Jesse says hi, sort of… could you have guessed that he hasn’t done it yet? That’s what I learnt at the party plus a whole bunch of other stuff. China hmm… that reminds me are you having trouble
with the language there? Or don’t tell me that you know how to speak Mandarin.
I assume the competition has started? It’s morning here, I’m gonna make a wild guess and say that it’s night time there. Or am I wrong? This time difference thing has gotten me so confused, not that I’m clear-headed most of the time. Yepps I’m confused that I’m not even sure what I’m typing but I think you’ll be smart enough to decode this email.
Love
Steffy

I haven't seen Bradley. I'm not sure if he is at this tournament, or if he is at the Japanese Nationals. Don't worry about me though lol. I'll come back in one piece. It's a very regulated tournament, so there are attacks that are considered illegal. So Jesse is a virgin? Well... didn't expect that. He didn't seem like he was. As for Mandarin... no... I don't know Mandarin lol. Fortunately many people here know English, because I'm only fluent in English and Italian.
The competition has finally started though. I have already been in three matches and have won so far, but there are lot more matches to come and seems to be getting harder with each one. And yeah, if its morning there its night time here.

Yay! For you and me! I got the time thingy right and you got your competition down. Though you deserve a bigger yay. Derrick is never gonna let Jess live this down, another yay! Lol, have you met Malfunto before? If you have, he’s leaving Epson in search of more…well how do I put this… ‘gays’. I choked on my ice-blended when he told us the news, pretty funny if you asked me.
Saturday was boring, not much happened how about you? Win anymore? I’m sure you did. =]

To: Steffy From: Darin Subject: [Re: Wish you were here] No, I don't think I ever did meet him. So the competition is going well. I'm now in the top 50, hopefully I can get myself in the top 20 or better. That would be nice, but there are some really talented people here. After all, these guys are from all over the world. It's pretty crazy. So I just have today and tomorrow and the competition is over. So I'll be back before you know it  |

To: Steffy From: Darin Subject: [Re: Wish you were here] Well the competition is over finally. I finished in 14th place. It's not bad though. Just means I'm the 14th best martial artist in the world  Maybe I can do better next year. You should have seen some of these guys though. They're amazing. Oh and there was a guy here who was trying to teach me a new technique, but I'd need a lot more time to learn it. Anyways, I'm getting on the plane tomorrow morning, which means I'd be back at Epson in the next morning for you. Kind of confusing I suppose, but it won't be long. See you soon |
