Today, I met up with Hong a.k.a. "Pink" at some random coffee shop in the Westlake area. It was one cool and hip shop. I really love the vibe! I would want to go back there and invite @rollingchic because the place is just so Instagramable!
On the way to another coffee shop, well, actually I call my office, LOL. My Grab bike came to a stop at an intersection and boom - I found me such an Instagramable photo as well!
After posting this on Social Media, a lot of my Philippine friends asked if it was a law in Vietnam for Vietnamese women to cover themselves up while driving their motorbikes. I had to explain to every friend I have in the Philippines why Vietnamese women are doing this and why it's important to wear the "Áo chống Nắng".
Áo chống Nắng has no direct English translation per se because it's authentic to Vietnam. But to put it simply, it's something you wear on top of your clothes to totally protect you from the sun. Summer in Vietnam, especially Ha Noi, can really be nasty. I tell you, it's unwise to go out without proper clothing. And yes, A Vietnamese woman's wardrobe is never complete without the super important "Áo chống Nắng".
Dear Steemians, I hope the photo is visually entertaining to you all. In closing, summertime is finally here!
