Plus: The man telling ‘truth bombs’ at funerals has a secret of his own
| | Still in a holiday state of mind? | |
I love dreaming about holiday destinations – even if the kind of overseas adventure I could plan pre-pandemic (and, to be honest, pre-parenthood) seems like a distant memory right now.
But putting practicalities aside, this story about visiting Hanoi makes me think I should try to get there some day.
The Vietnamese capital has a lot to offer – from citadels built more than 1,000 years ago to what’s said to be the world’s best street food.
And Nguyen Quy Duc, a restaurateur and fixture of Hanoi's art scene, says the disruption of 2020 hasn’t dampened the city’s spirit.
“Hanoi remains, even with the pandemic, a dynamic city,” he says. “It is alive. People are always trying something.”

Until next time,
