Hanoi
1 - 6 August 2015
Flew to Vietnam twice in a span of a month. The second time as a date trip with Drea. It’s so funny looking at these photos and seeing how a big chunk of what went down in Hanoi wasn’t captured in any of them. One instance even led to Drea being called a “mean Chinese lady.” LOL I guess that’s what we get for calling our trip Hanoi-ng. We brought it upon ourselves by manifesting and attracting that kind of energy. 😅 Despite all the nuisances we went through, I still look back on this trip with a lot of fondness. And it’s making me miss Drea even more. She’s spent the last three years in London taking her M.A. We still get to see each other once a year (and regularly enough on FaceTime) but it’s a drastic change from our fresh-grad days, spending each day lounging at each other’s homes and planning our queendoms together. But you know what they say - we plan and the Universe laughs. We’re nowhere close to what we had envisioned for ourselves but I like to think we both ended up where we were supposed to be. I don’t know if we’ll ever live in the same city again, I sincerely hope we do. But wherever life takes us, I know we’ll always be rooting for each other to live out our best Vietnam-azing lives. (I annoyed even myself with that one but had to do it. lol)
