Hi Alex!
We just moved into a new home! It is in a mixed-use community like no other that I have ever been to before. Your uncle lives on the other side of the complex. Did you know that he just recently moved here too? Yesterday I met him in the gym. On the way to the gym, as I was walking down one of the tunnels I saw a man propose to his girlfriend outside her office. It’s like straight from a Korean drama. Moments later when I emerged onto the roof through a diagonal tunnel, I saw a group of Chinese tourists taking photos of our community. I’m surprised that news of our community has already spread around the world! I followed them down towards the museum. I entered the gym through the pool area, where you wouldn’t believe what I saw: A whale doing tricks in our community pool! I wonder how it ever got there, maybe it took the freight elevator. Your uncle and I got coffees in the gym cafe and worked out to the sight of Shamu. Anyhow you’ll get to see our new place after graduation. Good luck in your final review! Love, Mom
