Dear Di.go,
Hi! How are you Thank you for your
letterl 1'rn uery happy about your planl
OK! If you let rne know lour arrival
tirne, l will corne to you, at Narita
airport. lie thought about our plan in
Japan. i know you really like football!
So, how about visiting stadiurns of the
World Cup You can visit a locker
roorn in Yokoharna Jnternational StaJiurt
where the final was held, and lou can
see aulographs of Brazilian national
tearn rnernbers.
In Jul5, Japan is very hot, but
sornetirnes there is a heavy rain so
you have to bring an urnbrella. And
there are lots of rnosquitoes, you
rnust bring a rnedical crearn to
protect yourself against thern.
Do you haue any special requests If
you have any, please let rne know. J'll
try to do itl
I'rn looking forward to your repl5 and
to rneeting you in Jul5!
Lots of love,
Yuka
