Full-day City Tour - for 2 adults - on March 23rd - starting 9:00AM

Pick up at: (AirBnb) 61A Duong Thanh, Phuc Loi Apartments

Pickup name:Stevet Bookbinder and Michelle Chan

I arrived 61A Duong Thanh at 8:45 Am and waited for my guests,On time 9 Am they came up and we introduced together.They are a couple that came from USA,,they rent an apartment inside Phuc Loi buiding to save money for some next destination,they just arrived Hanoi yesterday after visiting Ha Long bay hence they wanna see everything that is well-known and interesting here.Later on.we started.Steve is a USA guy and Michelle is a Chinese girl but she was born in USA and used to learn in Harvard university,her grand parents were Chinese but they moved to Ho Chi Minh city many many years ago so She can speak Chinese and English.I admire all persons who study in Harvard so I asked her so many things to compare with something that I read on the internet,something is different.She showed me where she's living and studying.It is amazing and beautiful.

I led them to visit Ho Chi Minh mausoleum first,it took 90 minutes totally to visit Ho Chi Minh complex coz so many tourists today most of them are childrent who are so cute and talkative.I showed them history and political in Vietnam nowadays,they asked ma a lot:why did all Vietnamese people respect Ho Chi Minh?why did he choose Socialist Republic?why did people in the north fighting to the south people?do the government put some garland in front of HCM mausoleum everyday?What age is suitable to get married?...Then we walked to Temple of literature,I show them education system of Vietnam in the past and it was similar to China,Michell said.They asked some interesting question here why most of the temple in the city were written by Chinese?have we had our own language in the past?why do we worship 3 the kings in the temple however it was contributed by a lot of kings?

After that we went to Old Quater for lunch and we chose 'Bun Cha' ,that is a small store near the Cathedral,to compare with another store that I have tried I think it is so good.Then we spent 2 hours discovering Old Quater such as No.48 House ,Dong Xuan market,Bach ma temple,and walked on the Long Bien bridge,the weather was extremely nice to walk.Then we turned back their apartment coz they were tired after a long day to walk and we ate 'banana cake on the way back.we said goodbye around 4 Pm.it is an interesting tour,they plan to come back here on October and hopefully I can see them again.Thank for reading.
