My grandfather often took me to school in the mornings when I was a little girl. We usually left earlier and stopped by a bakery near my school. He ordered cakes and milk for me while choosing a cup of black coffee with filter for him. When eating my food, I loved counting the drops of coffee falling down through the filter, wondering how they tasted. Once, when my grandfather was buying a magazine, I surreptitiously dipped a finger in the cup of coffee. Bitter! It was the first time I tasted it and couldn’t understand why the drink that many adults love was so bitter. That time I felt like I would never like coffee.

During his business trip to Vietnam in late May, the<br />
American President Barack Obama was warmly<br />
welcomed by the Vietnamese people. Everything<br />
related to the president, from his schedule to bun<br />
cha - the dish he ate at a small restaurant, became<br />
hot topics. And of course, everyone was curious about the hotel<br />
he stayed. Which hotel could meet the tough demands of the<br />
American President? What type of room did he choose to stay<br />
and relax after his busy days? The answer is the JW Marriott<br />
Hanoi Hotel’s Presidential Suite.<br />

47-inch TVs and a modern audio system. The large three-sided<br />
glass window provides guests a 270-degree view and allows<br />
natural light into the room. Enjoy a perfect city view and adjust<br />
the light and privacy with a premium curtain set.<br />

specialized facilities. While the 10-seat table in the living<br />
room can be used for meetings or as a dining table alike, a<br />
