I met my wife at a party at a mutual friend’s house in Taibei. We started dating seven years ago yesterday, for a month and a half. Then she had to return to her home country, while I stayed in Taiwan for another six months, and before going to get my Master’s degree in Chicago.
I didn’t let the relationship fade away easily though. We kept in touch over email, and after four months I started writing her letters, through the mail, each ending with a different fairytale. From March 2005 to March 2006 I wrote her 45 different fairytales in weekly letters. Then in June 2006 I moved to Prague, to be with the woman I would eventually marry.
I will be posting the stories every Sunday for the next 45 weeks. I hope you enjoy them.
