Over the next few days, the girls visited Ho Chi Minh`s Mausoleum, the History Museum and the Temple of Literature, as well as many beautiful parks and lakes in Ha Noi. On Friday, Maryam wanted to visit the mosque on Hang Luoc Street. Lan used to walk past the mosque on her way to primary school. However, this was Lan`s first visit. She enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere while Maryam was praying.
