Love it! I missed Hanoi…
Rats! I wish I knew about this place when I visited there. I do love the hanoi coffee culture- groups of people sitting at little tables conversing and having a nice time.
Very fun blog, by the way. I’m completely absorbed! We’re in Asia too- in Okinawa, living the island life.
Mary & Sean – thanks for stopping by! Okinawa would be interesting!
