Dear Anna

Here i am in Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam. I have been here for 2 weeks now and it is very interesting. My friend, Nga who i met in Vietnam last year, has lived in Ho Chi Minh City since she was born, so she knew all about it. Yesterday we went to Dam Sen Water Park and enjoyed some special Vietnamese food there. We visited Ben Thanh Market and Nha Rong Harbor thi weekend.

I had lots of more to tell you when i get back.

See you soon.
