Answers

LET'S ROLE PLAY!

.

You're Abidemi.

.

I'm Todd.

Todd: So after Laos, where did you go?

Abidemi: After Laos, I flew to Vietnam. And actually I took the bus into Vietnam.

Todd: OK.

Abidemi: Yes. And in Vietnam, I traveled from the north, from Hanoi, to Ho Chi Minh City. But because my time was so short, I could only spend one or two days in each city.

Todd: Ah! What city did you like the most?

Abidemi: I think I prefer Hanoi the most. The food, the street food is amazing. It’s a very lively city, lots of motorcycles and traffic so it reminded me of Nigeria where I was born a little bit.

Todd: Oh cool!

Abidemi: Yes.

Todd: And what did you do in Vietnam?

Abidemi: I spent time in Hanoi. I also went to visit Sapa, which has a lot of rice terraces. So these are mountains where they’ve planted rice fields. So the scenery, the view is really beautiful. And you also get to meet the native people, the local people there. So I enjoyed it.

And then from there I went to Hoi An, which is a very historical city, very beautiful night scenery by the river. And then I went to Ho Chi Minh City but I could only spend one night there before leaving for Myanmar.

Todd: OK. And then, how was Myanmar? What did you do there?

Abidemi: Myanmar was my last stop. And I didn’t have so much time there but I managed to go—but I managed to visit some of the places I really wanted to see like Yangon, Bagan, and Mandalay.

I would say that Bagan was the highlight. They had many temples from the past and just seeing that many of them, it was very impressive.

Todd: That’s fantastic.

Abidemi: Yes.

Todd: So what country was your favorite?

Abidemi: It’s hard to say. They each have their own good points but I think I would definitely like to visit Thailand again.

Todd: Oh OK. Thailand is such a great place. Anyway, thanks Abidemi.

Abidemi: Thank you, Todd.
