    · October 16th, 2023
    This is my second time coming to Vietnam, and it is still as interesting as the first time. This time I chose to enjoy more food as last time I liked it a lot. In general, the food is very suitable for my taste, the cooking lesson was also very interesting, I learned how to make "spring rolls". Our tour guides were very nice and attentive. The air and temperature in the three regions are slightly different, making me tired in the last few days. However, overall I was very satisfied with the trip. Thank you Evelyn for resolving and accommodating all my requests.
