Dear Nga,
I’m having a wonderful time in Hue. The people are very friendly and hospitable
but the weather is rather cold and humid.
In Hue, I visited my uncle and aunt. I met all my cousins and we were all happy
to see each other. My cousin Nam showed me around every interesting place in
Hue such as: Trang Tien Bridge, Ngo Mon Gate, Mausoleums of Nguyen Dynasty,
Thien Mu Pagoda………… It was very exciting.
I bought lots of souvenirs and photos for my family and my friends.
See you soon.
Your friend,
