Book Story: Pt. 1

November 2nd, 2007 by tuntis | Categories: Books

I walk to the mail box to find a orange-red-white paper slip. It reads “DHL Express”.

You have received a DHL package

We were unable to deliver your DHL package. According to the contract, we can only release the package to the owner for a signature, and we were unable to reach the recipient. To arrange a convenient delivery or if you prefer to pick up your shipment from one of our service points, go to DHL’s web site: www.dhl.fi -> Useful Tools -> New delivery date / change of address. Fill in the required information. You may also call our Customer Service by dialling 030 45 345, and selecting 4.

Guess what part I had to translate myself from the Finnish text, because it was cut from the English one?

Wait for updates!

    Nope, a certain part of the non-italicised part.

    I’m confused – the slip was in the wrong language?

    No, they simply ran out of space on the slip while printing the English text, resorting to cut a sentence or two.

    It came in the right language, and I simply thought it’d be better if I wouldn’t post Finnish in the blog.

    …because it has something to do with a free book offer by a GM magazine?
