The Two Cutest Coffees in Con Dao, Vietnam
After a long journey, we usually find a cosy place to get rid of tiredness and regain the balance. The coffee shops with beautiful design seems very nice to hang out. I’ve seen many Con Dao coffee shops but just really impressed by two names: Infinite and Lacasa. They are really unique in design with a reasonable menu. Infinite cafe This coffee includes 2 sectors with very specific style. The left house look young and modern while the right one is quite vintage. While watching the coffee, I came up with an idea that it followed a rule of design: a style of no style. The exterior looks like a…

Condao Hostel Review: Uyen’s house dorm & bed
If you are looking for a Con Dao hostel in budget style, I recommend Uyen’s house for its very relaxing and romantic experience.

Con Dao trip – day two
This is the next chapter of my Con dao travel story-day 1, which cover how I had bun rieu for breakfast, hiked Dam Tre bay, visited the prison complex and managed to get onboard back home. (read the prologue) I woke up early, and got out of the bed quickly to check the weather. The cloudy sky outside was not promising. My friend even said that there was a serious storm coming from Philippines, which drew the cloud and rain. Though the dorm offered free breakfast, we still decided to explore local food with bun rieu. Frankly speaking, it was not as good as ones in HCMC, the the price was nearly…
