Anne with Daisy, our new Vietnamese friend we met inside the Post Office. She walked up to Maddy and said “Excuse me, may I speak to you for 5 minutes to practice my English?” She spoke perfect English, with no accent. Maddy was busy trying to buy a postcard, so then Daisy started talking to Anne. This began a “What’s App” friendship
It was a happy event after the sad visit to the War Remnants Museum
