A Day out around the Hoan Kiem Lake ~ Local Supporting Team

It was so happy that we finally met Maggie (Hongkong) - the last intern of phase 1 project "Earth & Me". From the first time I met Maggie, she was a nice person and always smiled (which I like the most). Maggie is quite easy-going so we could work together quite smoothly.

In order to let Maggie get used to Hanoi life style, LST held a outgoing day to some attractions around Hoan Kiem Lake (Sword Lake) with other 3 interns: Joe - Stella - Eden. We started at 3PM, and then we walked around the Hoan Kiem Lake and straight to the Ngoc Son Temple. During walking, LST member told about the meaning of the red bridge and the Pen Tower.

Interns were also introduced about lemon ice tea at the tea street store near Soldier Monument. We enjoyed the Hanoiian's culture and chit chat with each other. Interns had chance to taste the fresh lemon ice tea which was the favorite drink of Hanoi teenagers.

After drinking tea, we walked across some streets inside the Old Quarter, which were Hang Dau, Cau Go, Dinh Liet. We also went to the Big Church or St Joseph Church on foot. Interns were introduced about the church history and spent time praying inside the church.

At 6PM, another LST members and X-team members joined us. We had dinner together at Peperonis Restaurant. Everybody seemed to be happy with many stories told by Quan - a very enthusiastic LSTer. It seemed that nobody want to go back home because we had too many things to tell to each others.
