到達紐約肯尼迪機場過關很以外的順，之後易拎搭機場快線從一號航班樓到八號航班樓，發現完全沒有椅子提供休息的地方給乘客
Arrival at New York's JFK airport with an unusually smooth entry through US customs, followed by an airport train from terminal 1 to terminal 8, where there are no chairs to rest upon until after she checks in for the last leg towards Texas

搭乘印度航空公司航班從艾哈邁達巴德出發前往紐約，在孟買停留六個半小時
Departure via Air India from Ahmedabad to New York, with a 6.5-hour layover in Mumbai

慢遞員何小姐的第一次印度之行是由香港藝術發展局贊助的，她將在艾哈邁達巴德參加亞際文化研究會的討論會；不幸的是，由於中印關係惡化，本來跟她一起參加的其他6-7位共同發言人都無法獲得前往印度的簽證，因此，何小姐只能獨自一人在擁擠的機場裡手足無措，數百雙眼睛盯著這位格格不入的黃皮膚訪客；幸好，她遇到了幾位將參加同一個討論會的泰國乘客，他們主動提出與她共用機場接機車，將她送到酒店
Courier Ms. HO's first trip to India has been made possible by a Hong Kong Arts Development Council sponsorship of a panel presentation at the Inter-Asia Cultural Studies Conference in Ahmedabad; unfortunately, sour relations between China and India mean that 6-7 other co-presenters for her panel are unable to obtain visas to India, so Ms. HO is left alone, flustered at a crowded airport with hundreds of eyes staring at the out-of-place, yellow-skinned visitor; thankfully, she runs into a few Thai passengers from her flight who will be attending the same conference, and they offer to share their airport pick-up car with her to take her to her hotel

快遞員何小姐飛往曼谷的中轉航班延誤；因為她要在曼谷短暫停留，進城參加一個會議再回機場搭乘下一班飛機飛往艾哈邁達巴德，時間縮短了帶來一些焦慮；到達曼谷蘇凡納布國際機場沒有網絡添加了一種非常現代的焦慮感
Courier Ms. HO's transit flight to Bangkok is delayed, creating a bit of stress in anticipation of a short layover jaunt into the city for a work meeting before catching the next flight to Ahmedabad; this is made doubly stressful by the very contemporary anxiety of not having a proper internet connection upon arrival at Suvarnabhumi Airport

收件人回覆：「無論它的狀況如何，我非常希望能得到最後一本；非常感謝你們對於我的訂單的支持和回應。你們慢慢安排慢遞吧～如果最後還是不行，我可以在Chuăng網站上查閱PDF文檔。非常感謝，祝您愉快」
RECEIVER REPLY：I would absolutely love to get the last copy regardless of its condition, I’m so grateful and appreciative of your support and response regarding the order. Thank you and take all the time you need to arrange the delivery of the book. If this is all still not possible, I can just content myself with the PDF documents on Chuăng’s website. Thank you so much and have a good a day.

LIGHT LOGISTICIAN UPDATE：
您好 dear L,

We received your order, thank you very much! Unfortunately, it turns out to be a bit of awkward timing, because a few extra copies of Chuăng had only just been discovered in our backstock a couple of weeks ago, and we sold them all at the art book fair in Hong Kong just the weekend before your placed your order, before we had time to update the website to list them as sold out again.

So we don't have any copies available! I remember that you were interested to purchase Chuăng 1 way back when you ordered number 2, so in apologies for our not very operable distro, I'd like to ask if you would be interested to have the last remaining copy of Chuăng 1 (from our own archive), the cover of which is sun faded and damaged. The inside pages are all fine.

If you don't mind to wait for LIGHT LOGISTICS feral couriering, we may have a travel to Texas over the summer and can arrange to get it to you then free of cost. But because we really don't make money with this distro, if you'd like to have it shipped directly from Hong Kong, I will have to ask you to cover the postage costs.

Let us know what you think, and thank you for checking in with us again!

Greetings from your friendly LIGHT LOGISTICIAN,
PORTABLE
