Hi Emma, I hope you are doing well and enjoying your time there. I just want to let you know guys that I have done my exams and now I am planning to visit Jaipur next month on 20th December. Most probably, I will stay for 10 days as I am eagerly waiting for
this
moment and I am sure we will have fun together.
Finally
, my extremely imperative exam days are gone and now I am free for the next 3 months.
Also
, you know that I love Rajasthan culture
as well as
I love to enjoy historical places and of course, Jaipur has impeccable historical monuments and tremendous things to enjoy.
Moreover
, I know that you have a joint family but I don'
t
know anybody else in
this
town
therefore
, can I stay at your home.
Apart from
this
, You are local and it would be a great help as I don'
t
have much information about
this
city.
Furthermore
, I would like to pay for my stay as I don'
t
want to be burdened on your shoulders so, don'
t
worry about expenses.
Also
, we talked over the phone the day before yesterday and you told me that your uncle and aunt
also
came back from their business trip, and now they can
also
join us. I hope we will enjoy these precious moments. See you soon guys. Warm Wishes, Jasvir Kaur
