[00:04.05]Unit 12 Culture Shock Lesson 1 Visiting Britain

[00:10.22]Dear Aunt Mei:

[00:11.96]I can't believe I've been in London

[00:13.98]for 6 months already!

[00:15.83]I certainly owe you an apology

[00:17.30]for not writing more often.

[00:19.10]I've just been so busy studying

[00:20.98]and trying to absorb all

[00:22.24]the new things around me

[00:23.96]I think I'm still experiencing culture shock.

[00:26.64]There is so much here that

[00:28.24]is different from home.

[00:29.73]But you'll soon experience it all yourself!

[00:32.52]I wish your visit wasn't going to be

[00:34.19]so brief but there's a lot we can do

[00:36.16]and see in a week.

[00:37.68]I'm just so glad you can afford

[00:39.66]to visit me and I refuse to let you pay

[00:41.90]for anything while you're here!

[00:44.50]I don't know what your expectations

[00:46.10]are of London,

[00:47.44]but knowing that you've never traveled

[00:48.96]outside of Asia,

[00:50.31]I thought I'd tell you a bit

[00:51.41]about what you can expect to find.

[00:52.83]
