Curious Asian trip

Irene

<p class="ql-block">In 2025, four young people planned to go to Asia for a vacation together. Shanghai was their first goal, and then they decided to go to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. From June to September, four friends living in three different states had regular conference calls to discuss the itinerary, booked air tickets and hotels, applied for visas, and installed WeChat and Alipay on their mobile phones. They set off on September 27, from the United States through South Korea, and arrived in Shanghai on the 28th. In Shanghai, watched the scenery, went shopping malls, took the subway, walked through the streets and alleys, tasted authentic Chinese food, tasted Chinese liquor, tried Chinese tea, and experienced Chinese massage under the guidance of Michael's relatives. On the afternoon of October 7, flew from Shanghai to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, to continue the experience of Asian style, visit various military bases, and taste Vietnamese food. On October 11, four friends flew back to the United States from Vietnam through Taipei, ending the trip to Asia.</p><p class="ql-block">2025年,四个年轻人计划一起去亚州度假,上海是他们的第一个目标,然后又定了越南胡志明市。从6月到9月,居住在三个州的四个小伙伴定期电话会议讨论行程,订机票和宾馆,申请签证,在手机上装上微信和支付宝。9月27日启程,从美国途经韩国,28日到上海。在上海,看风景,逛商城,参观了多家Pop Mart和Top Toy店,以获得盲盒,坐地铁,走大街小巷,在Michael的亲戚指导下尝到地道中国美食,品了中国白酒,试了中国茗茶,体验了中式按摩。10月7日下午从上海飞往越南胡志明市,继续亚洲风格的体会,参观各种军事基地,品尝越南美食。10月11日,四个小伙伴从越南途经台北飞回美国,结束了这次亚洲之行。</p><p class="ql-block">Four young people said to all the Chinese friends who helped them this vacation :</p><p class="ql-block">We would like to express our deepest gratitude to you.
