Beschreibung
Hi, My mother Lisa used to take care of this account, but now I'm in charge.
Hello, I'm Kitty, a 19-year-old (for reference, depending on when you're reading this, I was born in 2004) and studying at British University Vietnam. When you arrive at our household, you will be in contact with me and my brother Sam (13, studying French at school and looking forward to learning German) as our parents are often busy and away on business trips.
We would love to invite you into our house to exchange culture and share memorable moments!
1. About our house.
We live in a 5-story house with your lovely room on the 3rd floor. The amenities include wifi, washing machine, etc. Aside from us (Me and Sam), our parents, we also live with our cousin, who is 25 and two adorable cats.
There is a supermarket, some convenience stores, and multiple bus stations near our house where you can shop for food or go out. For entertainment, there's a park and a cinema in walking distance. Watching movies in Vietnam is exceptionally cheap, so if you have a movie in mind, go for it!
2. Activities
Sam and I would have to attend school during the school year, but in the afternoon, on days off and holidays, we would love to spend time with you and have some bonding experiences. For instance, cooking is a common activity with many of the previous Workawayers as they can introduce dishes from their country to us. We could travel to Ba Vi - our countryside house - on weekends for gatherings and outdoor activities. If not, we could spend the weekends playing badminton or whatever activities we could think of.
I hope we get to meet!

Arbeit
It's nice if you give us 2-4 hours per day to help me and my brother with English or French/Mandarin (priority to girls who know French, Mandarin, or German, but English is a must)
You are free during the day as we are at school (we will help you travel and explore any special parts of Hanoi and nearby provinces - we do have a travel agency, so we can offer you tour packages). You may spend time with my children in the evening and during the weekend, as Sam has to go to school every day and Kitty every morning.
We may have time to eat out, join the bar/club, go sightseeing, go shopping, etc., together to experience the Vietnamese lifestyle and tradition
Sometimes, you can visit my friends' houses to make a cake or cook Vietnamese dishes
So, whatever you want here in Hanoi, we can share and help; just let us know!
