- A Chinese colleague of mine recently gave me a set of perfumed bookmarks
- as a Christmas present. At the time I was feeling pretty depressed, but
- his gift cheered me up no end. I should explain that the bookmarks are
- made out of balsa wood, and each one is engraved with a picture of a
- Chinese beauty (and beautifue scenery!). I'd like to share the
- accompanying text with you:
