Hello,
I am Oanh, a Vietnamese translator living in Ho Chi Minh city. I can offer you the arrangements for your trip to Ho Chi Minh city starting from picking you up to seeing you off at the airport as scheduled in your plan.
I used to work as an interpreter, so I think I can manage the conversations between you and your friend's mother well in bridging both the meanings and cultures. Although I am not a professional tour guide I think I understand and love this city enough to show you around and make proper arrangements for your trip after I get to know your purposes and detailed schedule.
The fee I charge here includes only my arrangements, interpretations and showing you around the city, and does not contain travelling, accomodation, meals during 2 days. If being managed well, fees for those stuffs won't exceed another 100 USD.
Welcome to Ho Chi Minh city, Viet Nam - a rising city with many stories and historic remains at its heart!!!
I wish you a safe and sound trip with interesting experiences!
Sincerely,
Lê Oanh
