Dear David,
I'm happy to hear you are in Hanoi again. This time, how about watching a water puppet
show? I'm sure you'll like it. Is Saturday evening OK for you? It's at 57B Dinh Tien
Hoang St., Hoan Kiem Dist. The show begins at 8 p.m., so let's meet at 7.45 outside the
theatre. I hope we'll have a happy time together.
Looking forward to seeing you there.
Have a nice day!
Cheers,
Duong
