As I am writing this email to you, we were already flying above Việt Nam to go back home.” “I just want to send you a letter of appreciation for your wonderful staff who have greatly taken care of us in what we will always remember as ‘Việt Nam confinement days’ and a very particular experience.” “It’s my third time in Việt Nam, but the first time I interacted with the same people for a number of days and I can say all of you were great representatives of your country. Even the most upset tourist had to admit that and wondered where else we could have gotten the same great treatment, in this situation” she wrote. “As Hội An is my favourite cultural place in Việt Nam and because I especially love the time of the Full Moon festival. I just can hope that this virus-madness will stop soon so I can be back with new groups to show the beauty of your country.” |
