Dear Toretto!
Hello Toretto, how are your family doing? I very happy
when I know you will come to Viet Nam next month to attend the wedding of our friends. I will prepare for you a room in my house. If you can please go with your family, my son tells me it wants to meet your son. Before you come to Viet Nam I want to give you know something about cultural traditions in my country. First, when you coming to Viet Nam if you want to give a gift for my family or your friends, you shouldn’t give daisy or white rose. Because daisy is a flower give for dead people. It’s a taboo thing. You can give them food or fruit. And the last one, when you eat with my family you don’t plug chopsticks on the rice bowl, don’t type chopsticks on the bowl, don’t chew and eat and you must invite elders to eat first. If you do it you will make others feel uncomfortable and you are an impolite. You will stay at my house man days, so I will teach you many cultural traditions in my country. If you love my country you can often come to my house. Wish you have a nice flight, I will pick you up at the airport. See you in Viet Nam. Your friend! Tien
