A letter from LST to Huan

Dear Huan,

On behalf of Local Supporting team, I want to make this note only for you – our dear intern.

Although the time we spent together was not so long, and we haven’t got so many chances to hang around; but for our team, you are not only an intern but also one of our friends.

On the day you take the first step to Hanoi and Quan picked you up, Quan – your buddy said that you were a talkative and friendly person; and on the second day we first worked with you at a very “silly” intern meeting, we knew that we were going to have a very enthusiastic intern that would be ready every time we invited you to go with us.

Huan, all of the LST member really hope that you will get well soon. We are very worried when knowing that you get disease in Hanoi, and at that moment, we did not know what to do but only stand there worrying. We even did not know that you came back to your hometown. On behalf of the team, I am very sorry for everything.

This is our farewell present for you… HUAN – GET WELL SOON !!!

A Day out around the Hoan Kiem Lake

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.

Buddy Meeting - Stella and Eden

Finally the two interns from China: Eden and Stella have already arrived to Hanoi. They came here by train from the province near Shanghai to Gia Lam train station. Hiep - our LSTer and Mieu from X-team picked them up from the train station to the host family.

As Eden and Stella had already been here in Hanoi, and they are going to start their work soon; therefore, during the time they were free, LST held a friendly meeting between interns and their buddies. We had a whole afternoon going to the West Lake and to the Lotus ponds at the West Lake. We had so an interesting time chit chat with each other about many things such as: culture, Hanoi attractions, etc. We also introduced a bit about the project and their buddies. 

After knowing each other, we went to Tran Vu Pagoda. LSTer showed Stella and Eden about the history of the Pagoda, and also the interns told us some Chinese word written at the gate of the pagoda. We had so a wonderful afternoon!!
