Dear Shan,

I hope you doing well!

Thanks for sharing those candied moments from the trip we had. These moments are really cherished. And thank you for the wonderful arrangements on the whole trip. Specially the bamboo forest trekking and stay will be forever will stay in my memories.

Kindly accept my foremost apologies for not reaching out to you. I got busy with other commitments with my new work projects. However I will be very much enjoyed the laughter and the trekking which we had in Sapa. Those barbecues at the river bank with -6*c was highlight of the whole trip.

I would be delighted to invite you to my city Chennai, to experience its vibrant culture and rich heritage firsthand. Please let me know your arrival date and time. So I will make all arrangements to host you.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon !

Warm regards,

Raja
