Dear Alexander,
    Cherry is my name. And I am really sorry to answer you e-mail for late. I hope you can excuse. Because, I have to study very hard. I think my English is not perfert. And I am raising my English now. I believe we will get along very good.

See that!!  "I believe we will get along very good."  I will use Cherry as a metaphor for China.  I think you will like that very much.

 He is sideways.

And, the piece of resistance:

everyone

You may think to yourself.
I had another location and now I am here.

Look.  Here I am.  Wherever you are, there you are and so on and so forth.
Before at http://www.alexander-t.com/ I was receiving far too many comments urging me to get involved with online blackjack.
I hope that won't happen here, U*37bq(.
