I stumbled upon a cute cafe in Hanoi. It was my first time visiting my former roommate from Bangkok who had relocated to the city. After several years living in Asia, I had started to find myself thriving in bustling cities.

Maybe you have been to Hanoi or dream to go there -- but in this video you can dive into the cafe where I sat that afternoon on my first trip taking in the city as I did and remember it how I do. Not quite real, not quite exact, but as a memory of fluctuating images and an amazing street balet that was magical to me. Hanoi was a special step on my journey of 10 years in of Asia. Memories are something of a fact and fiction and with so many places and memories, it's easy to romanticize those fleeting moments over the past decade.
