> Hi Celia, 
> 
> I decided to write a letter to you. I don’t think I’ve ever used this way of communication with 
> anyone, except maybe with my Grandma when I was little. See, the idea came to me when 
> I saw a colleague writing a letter by hand because his phone had died shortly before my arrival 
> here. So, he gave up calling his girlfriend and just sat down and started to write. How romantic! 
> So, despite having the opportunity to be online here, I went for writing a letter by hand instead 
> of e-mailing or texting you. I feel so old-fashioned! Just like when my Grandpa was in Vietnam 
> writing letters to my Grandma. She showed me the letters once, they were in an old box. But 
> you don’t have to keep this letter in a box and open it again when we’re old if you don’t want 
> to. I just hope you feel my love more when you’re holding this.  
> 
> Anyway, my flight from London to Haiti was okay. A big, unpleasant surprise came when I got 
> to the hospital. I was told there were no more flats for foreign doctors at that moment. So, I’m 
> sleeping on an old bed in the doctors’ room for now, hoping the situation changes soon. And 
> work, Celia? I had a 12-hour shift, and then two more shifts just as long! Three days in a row! 
> I was so exhausted afterwards that I cried. I’d never cried after work before! But don’t worry 
> about me, I’m okay now. I simply must remember to eat and drink during my shifts. I’ve found 
> the local cuisine amazing! The meals are rich and tasty. I hate to say it, but English cuisine isn’t 
> as good. I don’t miss the cold sea at home either. The Caribbean Sea here is so much warmer. 
> My colleagues and I had so much fun swimming in it yesterday on our day off. It was my first 
> swim here. The beaches are a bit dirty, but it didn’t bother us.
> 
> And how are you, my love? Do you miss me? I miss you terribly. I had to stop drinking black 
> tea with milk here. Can you imagine? Me, an Englishman, not drinking tea! It is because it 
> reminded me of you and our afternoon tea together. And I started to miss you. Also, when I see 
> a girl in the hospital who looks like you, perhaps I look at her for too long. Sometimes I feel like 
> I see you everywhere. There are more things that make me miss you, but none is worse than 
> seeing couples holding hands. Those are the moments I really wish you were here with me. 
> Sometimes I drink a glass of sweet wine in the evening and think of you; what you are doing, 
> if you’re alright… I love such evenings here the most.
> 
> When I go to bed, I hope that you will be in my dreams. Do you feel like that too? I’d be in your 
> dreams every night if it was up to me, my love. Why haven’t you been in any of mine yet? I used 
> to dream about you twice a week before I came here. And now? Nothing. But I’ve dreamt about 
> my mum three times here already. Funny, isn’t it? Could you please also be in mine at least 
> once while I’m in Haiti? That way we could be together for a while. 
> Now, I’m just counting the days until we see each other next month. I can’t wait! My flight will 
> be much shorter than the one over here to Port-au-Prince, but I have to change planes once 
> because there is no direct flight to Orlando. It’s a pity I can’t go all the way to New York City, 
> honey. I know that would be the best plan for you, but I just can’t afford to go any further than 
> Orlando. Maybe some other time? Anyway, like I said I can’t wait to hug you and kiss you again. 
> I’ll be waiting for your flight from Paris at the airport. 
> 
> I love you.

> George
