Chuc mung nam moi! Happy New Year!

Happy new year of the monkey to everyone!

This is the view of the fireworks in Hue from Hangout Coffee & Bar.
Two years ago I've watched the fireworks by the river but this time having my own coffee shop and bar was more special although the view wasn't quite as nice.

Da Nang and Back Again

After working in the morning, I set off on a motorbike trip to Da Nang to meet a friend for coffee and a chat.

The weather hasn't been that great recently so it was nice to have a nice sunny drive to Da Nang.

The sunny weather didn't last too long though and by the time I was heading back it was grey and overcast with some more rain clouds making their way over the mountain from Hue.

Once I got to the Hai van pass it was thick fog and rain all the way back to Hue. While this wasn't so nice it was still a great day out and I enjoyed the road trip.

Under the Microscope

The microscope mode on the Olympus TG-4 is pretty cool and quite impressive on its own but with help of a raindrop on the phone screen it becomes even more fun.

Not an exciting photo and more something to show off he camera but I like it nonetheless.

Sing Together

When I decided to open a coffee shop, I wanted it to be a place where people can meet, hang out and have fun.
It is always great to see that on most nights locals and foreigners alike sing together and have fun.
