Dear Tim,
It’s great that you are coming to Viet Nam. There are so many interesting places that we can visit. Firstly I will take you to Hoan Kiem lake by car . It’s one of the symbols of Ha Noi. There you can enjoy the beautiful scenery and visit Ngoc Son Temple. Then you can look at the Old Quarter, walk around the old streets and some ancient houses to explore Vietnamese culture. We will enjoy some special food and buy souvenirs.
Tell me when you’re coming and I will come to the airport to pick you up by taxi.
Look forward to seeing you soon!
Best wishes,
Lan.
