Oct. 15
Dear Zhang Qiang,
How are you doing recently? I'm planning to go to Shanghai and look around in the city for a few days. I'll take the train and arrive at 8 o'clock a.m. on October 2lst. Will you please come and meet me at the station? I'm going to stay in Shanghai till 0ctober 24th. Please help me book a hotel room. I hope to stay in a hotel around the downtown area but the price shouldn't be very high. I don't mind if the room is small. Another thing, can you book a ticket for me back to Beijing on 24th?
All the best,
John
