Long, lonely journey for a short, friendly message
April 7th 2010 04:03
Sitting snugly in a traditional bottle, a message of friendship has travelled about 11,000 kilometres, from Henan in China to a beach off Victoria, Australia.
The message, found on Sunday by a teenager and his father, was written in Chinese and says: “Happy to connect with you. I would like to make friends with you. Would you like too?”
It was not dated, but was signed “Li Xing Bo”, who gave an address in Liu village, Jin Ling town, Luo Yang city, Henan province, China.
Today’s Geelong Advertiser newspaper reported the father, Michael Lawrence, as saying, “It's remarkably well-preserved and someone has had the forethought to put in some tissue paper to absorb any moisture.''
Mr Lawrence, of Lorne, says he will ask his son, Pete, to write a return letter to Mr Li.
