Dear Nam,
How are you ? I was very happy to get your
letter.
My class has just come back from a trip to
Phong Nha Cave, a World Heritage Site in
Central Viet Nam. It’s very far from my house.
It’s over 1000 km from my house and it took us
26 hours to get there by car. We stayed in a big
hotel in Quang Binh.
Although it’s a summer day, it’s very cold and
dark inside. The guide showed us the history of
the limestone which made such magnificent
caves. We took many photographs with local
people there.
