Tea house, neighbors

Now, I am sitting in Calvin's tea house in his yard.

There is a big back yard at the back of Calvin's house. I was surprised when I first entered deeply. There are another houses inside the yard, and even, there are two tenants!

Some weeks ago, I met one of them. She is June, lives in the farthest rear house. Calvin mentioned her before. But I thought she lives in the neighbor street.

Weeks ago before the semester began, I worked in room because of I did not have the key for the gate of Stevens. One day, I entered the yard again. I found the tea house in sunshine. I decide to reading book here. I enjoyed reading in this little room. I smelled the flavor of grass. At evening, just I wanted to go back my loft, I found a girl opened the yard door and entered. It's June. June is a Chinese. She came from Guangdong. But we talked in English. June was very interested in my research in Lijiang. June visited there, and even hiked around the Tiger Leaped Gorge in Daju(大具) side. When I told her that the government and the power company prepared to build a dam there, June angered.

Then we did not met for several weeks. June is busy in work. She worked in a candy factory and she gave me a box of chocolate when we first meet. I went to my office almost every week days and I went out to meet some friends in those weekends too. I did not work in the tea house for so long time. While, some times I hear the sound of the door, and I thought that's June. Last weekend, I met June again. Her boyfriend come to see her from Guangzhou, while Calvin said he works in HongKong. We have a short talk in the yard.

Yesterday, I met June and her boyfriend again. Moreover, I met the other tenant in the yard. He is Prasad. He came from India. He is PhD. student in UC. Berkeley, his major is economics. This is his third year. But he has lived in America for more years. He graduated in America and his parents also live here. But he said he goes back India every two year, he have many relatives there. His home town is in the south of India. We have a short pleasure talk.

Just now, he went out from his room. He said that his sister lives in south bay area, he will visit her.

Now, I need to begin my work.
