Dear Lauren,
I`m very happy to know that you`ll be staying with my family for two months. We live in a four-bedroom flat on the 15th floor. You will have your own bedroom for your stay here.
You asked me about our family rules. There are three important ones that we must follow.
First of all, everyone in my family has to share the household chores; for examples: my mother goes shopping and prepares the meals, my dad has to water the plants, and I have to wash the dishes. Secondly, everyone has to go to sleep before 11 p.m and get up before 6 a.m on weekdays; on Sunday, I can sleep until 8 a.m. Thirdly, my mother asks everyone to eat dinner at home together, except Sunday, we can go out for dinner with friends or relatives.
If you have any questions, please let me know. We will try our best to make you feel comfortable during your stay with us.
I hope you will enjoy your time in Viet Nam.
Looking forward to meeting you.
Best wishes,
Ha
