Bia Hơi
The cheapest beer in the world is probably this one: it is called Bia Hơi, and it costs something like 15 cents for a 12oz glass.The world Bia means beer and Hơi..well, I guess fresh/cold, even if the litteral translation should be Bia Tuoi. Bia hơi is made fresh every night, it is local, delivered every next morning to […]

Hai Ba Trung to Hoam Kiem (West)
After 10 days of a little discomfort, we decided to move from our first location at the Kinh Do Building to a Studio flat east of Hoam Kiem Lake. We really really love our new location and the studio! The area around Lo Duc was very authentic, and we enjoyed the walk to the center […]
