Delving Into History: Hanoi, Vietnam

Image
     Hanoi, Vietnam - This tantalizing city is a must-go for people who thirst culture, tradition and undeniably delicious food.      Working 9-5 everyday, I'd say traveling is one of the best, well I bet, the best   way to break the hard ice. I absolutely dread routine. And wow oh wow this trip spiked the energy and excitement within me!      A week after Lawrence's birthday, we were all ready for Hanoi! It was winter and superrr freezing at about four to eight degrees. This place is wet and humid on most days but temperatures drop drastically come January! What a big struggle it was at the beginning for someone who was so used to tropical weather! But why let the weather get in the way of an awesome adventure, right? That was the least of my concerns! It's time to set forth and just get lost in this city whose history is ever living. Hello from Lawrence and I!

Making Vietnamese Coffee (in Cebu!)

Vietnamese coffee is meant to be relished and enjoyed to the fullest.  If you're the person who can't always afford a moment to sit back and chill, then maybe you can enjoy this kind of cup some other time. Vietnamese coffee is not to be rushed for brewing it takes time. A month ago, Lawrence and I went on a trip to Vietnam and returned with some goodies, a Phin and coffee beans of different varieties  Phin is the metal filter they use for brewing. I looked this up online and it costs around USD 7.00 - USD 10.00. That's around PhP 315 to 450. I bet costs cheaper in Vietnam (well of course!). You can try this with other brands. The process is basically the same. :) Today I'm going to show you how to make black Vietnamese coffee! Hurrah! There's some sort of science behind this so just read on my dears. (char!)
