A girls weekend in Hanoi!
Since we moved to Bangkok, I have been so much looking forward to see my friend Deirdre. We know each other from the time Miguel and I lived in Singapore. Last weekend, I spent four days with her while being on a familarisation trip for VietnamInStyle. A sister company of SriLankaInStyle.
