Aloha Yao,

I am glad to see that you are doing well and hope this letter finds you in good spirts. I am not sure if you remember me or not but you an Arthur were actually the first countries to find me. You visted me from time to time. Told how wonderful you were. You even gave me some of your people to help me in my sugar cane fields. There are still so many of them. You probably saved my life when you gave them to me since so many of my people were dying of Western diseases and for that I thank you,but let's talk about more pleasant things. I still remeber when showed me how do fireworks, cook some of your food (It still love you bao buns and your char siu). It has been so long since we talked, especially since things became so tense between you and Dad. But I miss talking to you. Alfred has been good to me though. However there I times I wonder about what it would be like to independant again. However, passing fancies aside I am content for now.

With Much Aloha,

Paiea Henry Tan Jones, AKA Tan Xiang Shan AKA Hawaii.

P.S. I have eclosed some manapua (or I think you call them Bao) with this letter. I hope you enjoy them.

Ni Hao, Paiea Henry Tan Jones, Aka Tan Xiang Shan AKA Hawaii!

Can I call you Hawaii aru?

Ah, I remember you! I still claim that I found you first then that England ahen. We still argue about it from time to time.

Yes, I remember giving you some of my people to help you work on your sugar canes? I'm sure they have been very helpful to you aru.

*nervous laugh* O-of course I gave you fireworks *whispers* not they they caused me any trouble or anything but that HONG KONG...

Finally! I am really glad that you enjoy my cooking aru! You see, when I cook for my brothers around my home, they do not show much respect. It's really sad to see Yong Soo running around with my food, declaring that it originated from him...even to this very day. He even claims that black bean noodles originated from him! How ridiculous aru. (A/N: I'm sorry Wang but that's very popular in Korea. They taste soo good!)

It's true that your father and I don't get along too well aru. I still don't understand westerners.

P.S: HOW THOUGHTFUL ARU! I shall enjoy it, if Hong Kong doesn't steal from me. Xie Xie!
