Dear Friend's of Jinky
Hi, my name is Dun Chen. I am in Australia at the moment and I attend Adelaide High. I thought your idea of sending a bear around the world and having people commenting on the bear was a terrific idea. I really like the bear and it made me think of how much he has done.
Hi, my name is Kia Ly. I come from Vietnam and I have been living in Australia for about five years. It's very nice to meet Jinky and I think he is really cute and cuddly.
Hi, my name is Loryin Chau and I'm currently 15 years old and attending Adelaide High at the Yr 9 level. I have met Jinky Wells 2. He visited AHS one day while we were watching a movie called "Jumanji". He stayed and watched the movie but nobody knows whether he liked the movie or not because he didn't tell anyone what he thought of the movie. Jinky is a very quiet and shy bear I must add. I have the strong belief that he is homemade but I have kept it to myself as I might offend someone. To conclude my short letter I would like to say I think he is very privileged to be travelling around the world and meeting a lot of people and I wish him the best of luck in his travelling and future life.
Hi, my name is Mei Cheng. I have met Jinky twice and think he is extremely cute and cuddly. Right now he is sitting on the table at the front. He looks 'kinda' tired. Anyhow I want to wish him all the best for his dancing career though it doesn't look like he can dance at all. Jinky is very brave travelling around the world all by himself not knowing who is going to look after him next. Oh well, I suppose Mr. Barnes has a nice cosy place for him to stay.
Hello. I'm Supheap from Cambodia. I enjoyed the visit from Jinky. He is really cute and attractive. I can't stop staring at Jinky.
Hello, I'm Pheak. I'm writing just to say that Jinky is well and is being properly treated by us. He is really cute and we all love him. Even though he is not human he is very enjoyable to play with. My native country is Cambodia.
Jinky met my own stuffed toy 'Elmo'. It was my birthday and I turned 14. My name is LyLy. I think he is a courageous teddy bear travelling around the world without moving or talking. I enjoyed his visit. I think Jinky and Elmo will become best friends.
I met that little bear of yours and I think he is very cute and very very well. Mr. Barnes was showing Jinky around the class and he told us to write you a letter, but I really have nothing to write about so I'll just tell you that my name is Sann Chao and I'm 14 years old.
My name is Brittany Chan. I have met Jinky and I think he is a very nice bear and very cute. I think he is very brave for travelling around the world by himself. I enjoyed his visit and would like to wish him luck with his dancing career and for the future.
It has been a great pleasure meeting Jinky Wells. I first met him when Mr. Barnes brought him to the class, telling everyone that he was a dancing bear. it must be very interesting to travel around the world meeting different types of people and cultures. Oh, by the way, my name is Hungyen Lin and I am from Taiwan.
Hi, my name is Phillip and I am meeting Jinky for the first time today. He is a healthy bear. I like his back pack and his little cute diary. Jinky has travelled to lots of places and if I have the chance I will go with him. How old is Jinky? Where are his parents? Jimky Wells is living well in Australia.
I'm Ahn Nguyen. I'm writing to tell you that the bear right now is in our class. Every body seems to like him and so do I. I think that the idea of sending the bear around the world as a messenger is thoughtful. However this was a surprise to me because Mr. Barnes, who is my teacher, didn't tell me the bear was a messenger until the second time I met him. I want to know how many letters have been sent by a bear to you.
It has been a great honour meeting Jinky Wells. When I first saw him, I felt that he had a great sense of humour. It must be very exciting and adventurous to travel around the world meeting different people and different types of cultures. I wish that I could be like him.
To begin with my name is called Ky. I was born in Vietnam in 1981 and came to Australia in 1988. I have five members in my family. We all live together in one big happy family.When i told my family about meeting Jinky Wells at school they were so surprised to hear it and they would also love to meet him. To conclude with, I hope that Jinky Wells will visit us again in Adelaide. I'm looking forward to his arrival.
I'm Lan Ho. I've met Jinky Wells and I think he is very cute. I think that Jinky wells is brave travelling around the world by himself.
My name is Melanie and I have met Jinky Wells 2 twice already. I thought he was a really good bear and I liked the bells on his legs. I thought the idea of a bear travelling around the world was a good idea and Jinky Wells would meet a lot of different people. Jinky Wells is doing well on his own and a lot of people like him. I hope Jinky Wells will last for a long time travelling around the world and I hope I will do the same when I am older.
Hi! Jinky has just arrived in my ESL class. By the way, my name is Adeline Han and I'm a Malaysian-Chinese and I have been living in Kuala Lumpur until a few years ago when my family and I immigrated to adelaide, Australia. I'm now attending Adelaide High school, a special language high school. I think Jinky is very cute and lovable. He is also very brave to travel by himself. I wish him the best of luck. See ya
Hello! How are you? My name is Van Cao. I'm from Vietnam but I'm living in Adelaide now. I've met Jinky and he's well although he's a little bit dirty but I reckon Mr. Barnes will give him a shower. How old is Jinky anyway? Where is Jinky going after he's visited Australia? In the end I would like to say it's great meeting Jinky.
My name is Rui. I'm Chinese. I am meeting Jinky Wells in my school right now. I really like Jinky. I think he is cute. I like his back pack and I am going to write something in his diary. If I had the chance I would like to travel around the world with Jinky Wells.
My name is Donald. I am the Squire of the Australian Morris Ring. I dance with the Adelaide Morris Men. I've been looking after Jinky. He is well and says hello to all of his friends in England and other bits of the UK. I say hello too and expect to hear from you soon. Oh, we danced in front of the Squire of Derby Morris at the Central Market, Adelaide. His name is Gil Butler. Fancy travelling that far to see us.
