Wang Chenxin phones Li Yucui：“Elder sister, I miss you so much. I will have no ttme to see you when classes begin.”

Li Yucui says：“I am afraid I have to pick up good friends from the USA. You are welcome to come to Munich during your holidays.”

“Enjoy yourself，”says Wang Chenxin.

Ding Rui and George Lodge arrive at the Munich airport early in the morning. As they are checking out, Ding Rui sees Miss Li Yucui and a German boy standing at the exit.Ding Rui gives a hug to Li Yucui and says：“You are so kind to pick me up at the airport.You are pre er.”

“You are welcome to Munich. This is Hans Weber, my boy friend.He is a Psychotherapeut or Psychotherapist in English，”says Li Yucui.

Ding Rui extends her hand and shakes hand with him.“How do you do?”

“How do you do?Nice to meet you，”says Hans Weber.

“May I introduce Mr. George Lodge, my boy friend.A Graduate Student in the Harvard University.His major is law，”says Ding Rui.

Li Yucui shakes hands with George and says：“Nice to see you in Munich. Jane is very lucky.You have made a reservatton in Easy Palace in the city center, haven’t you?”

“Yes, I want her to enjoy the ttme in Germany，”says George Lodge.

And George Lodge holds the hand of Hans Weber ttghtly and shakes it.

Hans Weber drives them to the hotel. The room of Ding Rui and George lodge is a large double room.

Affer Ding Rui and George Lodge unpack and settle, they walk down stairs.

“I am afraid I should go now. I have an appointment with my pattent at 10 a.m.May I invite both of you to have a dinner at my house?”says Hans Weber.

“Thank you very much. We will come，”says Ding Rui and George.

“Irene！Have a good time with your friends. See you in the evening！”says Hans Weber.

Then Hans Weber is gone. The others go to café in the Hotel.

“Irene is my German name.”says Li Yucui.

“Irene. How are you going these days?You surprised me with your handsome man.You did not talk about him in your email，”asks Ding Rui.

“I just decided to accept him two weeks ago. You know the different cultures.”says Li Yucui.

“There are quite a lot of Germans in the USA. German origins take the most proportton of the whites.But tell you the truth.I sttll do not know the cultural difference between German culture and other cultures，”says George Lodge.

“I thought their habits are not the same or they think differently. Germans try to do everything logically step by step，”says Li Yucui.

“How are your parents in Germany?”asks Ding Rui.

“Marvellous with Wang Chenxin. I am afraid they have forgotten me.I ever talked about the very kind girl.”

“I know. The girl in trouble returned your long wallet of Louis Vutton which you love very much.I was told there is always a meaning behind German Names.What is the meaning of yours and Hans，”says Ding Rui.

“Irene means peace. Children in many countries should know Hans Christtan Andersen and his fairy tales.Weber means weaver，”said Li Yucui.

“First ttme to Hans Weber’s house.What shall we buy for the hostess and host，”says Ding Rui.

“Flowers or chocolates for the hostess and wine for the host，”says Li Yucui.
