Dear Jon,
Thank you for your letter and all your news. Well, in this letter I”ll tell
you what I often do in my leisure time.
One thing I like to do is visiting museums. On Saturday afternoons
love to visit Da Nang Museum of Cham Sculpture. You know,this
museum preserves sculptures featuring the cultural and spiritual life
of the Cham people. About 300 clay and stone objects are on display
at the museum. This museum has the world’s largest collection of
Cham artifacts. Sometimes I also visit Da Nang Museum. This is a
new museum with about 2.500 pictures, documents and objects. You
can learn about history and people’s life here. Next time you come, I’ll
take you to these museums. I’m sure you will like them, and you will
learn a lot of interesting things.
Bye for now,
Kim
