China Post

In the fourth week of my OITP, I bought several greeting cards from China Post to be sent to some friends in Singapore. With my broken mandarin, freezing cold weather, and chilly wind, it wasn’t easy at all to get the greeting cards, enquiry the postal fee, and understand their instruction about mailing those greeting cards. Not to mention sheets of paper I used to practice writing my name and address in characters I’ve never learnt before.

One and a half week after I posted those greeting cards, one of the recipients notified me that he received the card in his letter box. I thought the other cards would had already delivered to each of them by that time; but the reality doesn’t always obvious. He was the only one who received the card. The rest didn’t receive anything from me!

I felt sad when I knew this… Only recently that my friends called me, bringing good news that my card has finally arrived!

Case closed; I withdraw my previous negative opinion about China Post.

Thank you
