* The second Hanoi free tour closed with my hope and happiness. Although guiding how many tours, I have never forgot this lovely couple. From starting picking tourists up at their hotel, I had some troubles. how ashamed! I had to hold a piece of paper with their names and went around hotel to find them. Luckily, I had just showed the paper the old woman sitting on a chair called me and led me to find her husband being absorbed in taking a lot of photographs. He really loves photographing and he kelp camera during doing sightseeing. So sometimes I nearly strayed him among the crowed people in Tet holiday. Keren always raised her hand and said "Phillip! Come on" Hahahah. He again told "Sorry" and kept up with us. What a lovely man! We talked and shared many things with each other happily during walking. Although they are nearly 60 years old, they have run a business and traveled more 25 countries on the world. They also gave me their business card and welcomed me to visit their country. Ah! their son had intention to get married next month. Congratulation! Moreover, they taught me many things and asked innumerable ones. Specially, they always listened to me when I talked although I pronounced incorrectly and couraged me to keep the young's enthusiasm and the inquiring mind. Karen is an emotional person. When visiting Hoa Lo prison, she cried and asked me " Why Vietnam could forgive the crimes the French caused" Oh! How I could explain for her. At the end of tour, they invited me to have a lunch at luxury hotel. I had a good time with them and I hope them too.
P/S: Have a good trip and Happy new year everybody.
