~letter from my japanese friend at work stating he's going to be on vacation~

thought this was the cutest i'm-going-on-vacation-email ever!

"Hello all,

We are going to leave on the 25th afternoon from Ogallala for our summer vacation. \ (^o^) /　Wow!

We will return to Ogallala July 11th.

Japanese young people write this in their e-mails, when they are happy!

You have a nice summer vacation, too! \ (^o^) /　Wow!

See you next month!"

they left a little early since traveling back to japan. my vacation starts in a day and a half.

WOW!
(even though i still have lots with moving going on so i'll still be working. if you know what i mean.)
