Story time

Once upon a time, there was a Sammie.
Once upon a time Sammie sent her favourite sister a package from Australia.
That sister was so happy she danced the whole way to her foreign affairs office.
Alas, her foreign affairs officer gave her a measly envelope.
Inside that envelope was a jigsaw puzzle.
A jigsaw puzzle made of Chinese characters.
Her task was to decipher the characters and determine the reason she got an envelope not a box.
She declined the mission and handed the paper back with with a pout.
Her foreign affairs officer translated for her.
He told her that her package had been WITHHELD in Wuhan for an unkown reason, probably due to the Australian contraband inside.
He also said it will be very complicated to get it back.
Even he does not know how.
They will charge her 3yuan per day to hold her box from her...
Until she provides a list of what's inside, and a million other ridiculous things.
A list of what's inside a box she's never seen.
Will the story end happily ever after?
To be continued...

Once upon a time there was a Katie. This Katie did not receive her box as per expected. However Katie was filled with great joy to know that said Sammie, listed above, thought so dearly of her. Katie's story is left with the pages blank.... blank for the expectations of said box are so breath-takingly amazing that upon receiving said box, Katie, with all reasonable means, would not be able to contain herself. The end. Love you.

Oh the perils of living in a foreign country. Amanda and Jeremy sent two boxes ahead of their arrival in Italy. After many conversations with customs, one box returned to our house 6 months later and one was finally delivered to them in Italy 9 months later! It really makes you appreciate the good ole U.S. Postal Service!

Love you and miss you!

I hope the package can be delivered on to you.. I'm telling you, the postal system between Australia and China has a few bad eggs in it..!
