I took a flight to Phu Quoc on a rainy night in early April last year. "Companion" is my mother and her two elderly friends. Have you ever taken the hand of the elderly? It is not too much trouble, if you always remember the elderly often slow to bear little patience with them. The trip will be an unforgettable experience for you.

The first morning at the beachside restaurant, I opened my eyes wide at the plates of buffet food on the tables of the three elderly guests. The buffet was delicious, but all three dishes consisted of only a few slices of sweet potatoes, a few slices of boiled corn, and tiny bare cakes. Older people often eat simple and eat less. "Where did you go after eating?" A doctor asked me when I had just finished the cup of fresh milk.

I do not know how to describe when in front of the vast sky like a paradise, when the cabin has just come out of An Thoi station. It really feels ... adventurous!

"The sea of ​​Vietnam is so beautiful!", The Canadian guest sitting with the cabin on the cable car to Hon Thom said in a distracted voice. Yet my mother heard every word clearly. "That foreigner speaks his Vietnamese very well, huh!". Then my mother turned to her friend: "People are far away but also go to their own country to travel. If we are here, it is wasteful to enjoy it."

The foreigner probably also understood the conversation of the two natives of the natives sitting on the opposite side. I found him nodding politely.

The cruises with my cheeks were mainly wind exchanged and enjoyed fresh seafood. She did not like swimming very much. But she surprised me by the time I landed on Hon Thom beach, she asked to go to the beach immediately. "The beach is so beautiful, I have never seen a beautiful place like this".

Hon Thom is beautiful and charming! Clear sea water. My mum was delighted when I was swimming for the first time and saw the school of colorful fish swimming around. My mother once hoped to set foot on Phu Quoc - the Pearl Island. And she enjoyed it with her friends. And I feel so good! Feel like you own everything in heaven!

Sometimes my friends' friends invited me to travel abroad, but she shook my head every time. "In Vietnam, many famous places that cheeks do not know all, what is the travel abroad?". My cheeks think so simple!

Once on a tour of 3 islands in Nha Trang, a pair of British guests were paired up with the group. They sat down near my cheek and talked by ... having fun expressions. They help my mum and her friend whenever they get on and off the train, make good seats, help take pictures ...

In the eyes of my mother, foreign tourists to Vietnam are all happy, pleasant people. My mother used to tell jokes about the foreign guests she had met on a trip with her neighbors, after each trip back.

Vietnam has many island and island paradises: Phu Quoc, Nha Trang, Ha Long ... The feeling of manually clicking on pictures that were previously seen only through pictures is hard to describe. I share my thoughts and want to inspire those who still hesitate. There are many places along this S-shaped strip of land that I haven't had the chance to explore.
And I think I need to go more.
