Hi Phong,

How are you? I’m in Da Lat with my parents We are staying at the Crazy House Hotel Wow! It really is crazy.

Da Lat is nice It’s cool all year round There are a lot of things to see and lots of tourists too.

There are ten rooms in the hotel They are named after different animals There is a Kangaroo room, an Eagle room, and even an Ant room I’m staying in the Tiger room It’s called the Tiger room because there is a big tiger on the wall The Tiger is between the bathroom door and the window The bed is under the window - but the window is a strange shape I put my bag under the bed I put my books on the shelf There is a lamp, a wardrobe and a desk There are clothes on the floor - it’s messy, just like my bedroom at home.

You should visit here, it’s great.

See you soon!
