Linh ơi
San nhận được hai con diều của Linh rồi. Con "Wan Merak", khi nhận thì cái khúc tre trên mũi bị gãy vì carton bị gấp lại. Cái khúc tre khoảng 1.5in cần phải làm sao chứ không thì nó trông kỳ lắm. Còn con diều thì nguyên vẹn.
Khi nào về đến VIỆT NAM vậy? Nếu về Sài Gòn không có chỗ ở thì email cho San biết, để San cho Linh địa chỉ của gia đình San tại đó.
Thôi nhé, chúc vui vẻ hết tất cả.

Just wondering kites are popular all over the world, why Patang is so special to you?

Why the Indian patang is so special to me or kites in general? My answer will be to the first interpretation.
One reason. I have not experience so much sheer enthusiasm for kites than from Indian people from outside and within the country; and their genuine love for kites is contagious. They eat drink sleep and live kites. I observed in many Indian people how Patang is impregnated into every aspect of their life: from recreation, competiton, occupation, to religion. For certain people, it's not just a sheer hobby; they see something deeper in kites. Something divine. And I am starting to understand why.
