Dear Grandma,
Salutation
I have learned a lot about the local culture in Hong Kong. People
do not eat as many potatoes or as much bread as we do. People here have different religions, too – there are Buddhists, Taoists, Muslims …
I have seen a few ceremonies where people wear traditional Chinese costumes. My favourite costume is the cheongsam. It is very beautiful. You would look great in one, Granny!
