Speaking of which... we have already set up a time & date with HanoiKids for our upcoming trip. But I understand that it is customary to bring them a small gift from your homeland, and I'm not sure what we should bring. (FYI, we are from the far-western suburbs of Chicago.)

Any thoughts?

We brought the kids t-shirts from Florida.

Highly recommend spending a day with Hanoikids - not so much for the tour but just spending time with them.

We did not bring them anything (and haven't heard of this custom, not that its a bad idea) but we did buy them lunch.

A Cubs hat? We saw many Chicago Bulls logo hats and shirts on our trip to China ten years ago.

We gave our guide a few "London" key rings which she said reminded her of Harry Potter and we also tipped her so she could buy some books.
