Dear Mom and Dad,

I have already arrived in Hanoi. Mai picked me up at Noi Bai Airport yesterday. Now I am staying with her family. Her parents are very nice and friendly, which makes me feel very welcomed and comfortable.

This week, I and Mai are going to take part in the Scientific Research Conference in the National Assembly Hall on Wednesday and Thursday. Then we will go to see some famous beauty spots in Hanoi. I will take as many photos of the place as possible.

Up to now, I have been impressed by the local people and the cuisine. The residents here are very hospitable and close to each other. Vietnam’s traditional food is really amazing, especially Pho.

I think our family can spend our next holiday there.

I am really enjoying the time here.

Love,
