The last few weeks have been wet and hot with temperatures reaching around 40 degrees and periods of up to three days with continuous rain. Everything grows at great speed in these conditions and the greenery in the city of Hanoi is lush and beautiful. It is never easy to capture the diversity of colours and images that surround you during a five minute window of Hanoi life.

  1. Love the colour of your environment. Do you do anything other than eat fantastic meals? Like the clean white background to the Blog site, so good to have updates on all your doing.
