Dear Jon,

Thank you for the letter and all your news. Well, in this letter I'll tell
you what I often do in my leisure time. 
One thing I like to do is visiting museums. On Saturday afternoons I
love to visit Da Nang Museum of Cham Sculpture. You know, this
museum preserves sculptures featuring the cultural and spiritual life of
the Cham people. About 300 clay and stone objects are on display at
the museum. This museum has the world's largest collection of Cham
artifacts. Sometimes I also visit Da Nang Museum. This is a new
museum with about 2,500 pictures, documents and objects. You can
learn about history and people's life here. Next time you come, I'll take
you to these museums. I'm sure you will like them, and you will learn a
lot of interesting things.
