Dear Mum,
I arrived at Phu Cat Airport last Friday morning . Mai met me at the airport and took me home by taxi . In the afternoon , Mai and me went to a market near Mai’s house and I bought a lot of gifts for you, Daddy and Miri . Mai took me to Hoi Van Hot Spring three days ago . I saw a lot of peach blossoms there, like in Tokyo . I’m now in Trung Luong Beach . The beach here is wonderful, and the food is wonderful, too. I enjoy swimming in the sea and eating seafood, but Mai only likes making sand castles. We’ll leave for Qui Nhon City tomorrow. I hope I can take a trip to Han Mac Tu’s Tomb before coming back to Japan in July .
I’m very happy and enjoy myself so much here.
Hope to see you again soon.
Yours,
Yoko.
