Mark,
No plan to order small trophy this time? Although we
did not play well in the championship game, especially
in the second half, I still think getting into final
in 30-B is a big achievement for us. It is nice to
have something which will help us to remember the
good times we had in this wonderful season many many
years later.If we don't want to do it on team basis,
is it possible to order it individually?
I will go back China next week. Enjoy the party, all
of you. Talk to you guys later.
Go Dragons,
Li, Huan
