Sitting in my office, thinking about where I want to be. Say Vietnam? Apart from language differences, everything else seems good. There are always promotions from Scoot, Jetstar and etc. If there's anything else to do, I'll surely find time to hop into a cafe and chill with a book.

Great menu and awesome drinks. (Okay, i haven't actually try it yet but it looks good. It's vietnam coffee with sugar. Hard to go wrong~)

And for those who are afraid, they have a section without the little fishes too.

This shop has over 60 years of history. Up till today, they still offer the authentic ca-phe vot (net coffee) or ca-phe vo (stocking coffee) where they filter through what looks like a female's stockings. We have it in Singapore too but like Vietnam, it's getting rarer.
