For the past two months I have been looking at some beautiful studio spaces around Hanoi. The most awesome being this old derelict chemical factory turning art hub hanoi style.
The spaces were so inspiring and I would have loved to set up there. Especially to share with
this special lady and
this special man. Alas the conditions on the nonexistent contract made me too tentative relax.

Wide balconies and big shuttered windows |

Beautiful original tiles |
Finally I have embraced what I already have going spare in my house, a well sunlit room with (uuuuuugly tiles,) two big windows overlooking greenery (very rare in Hanoi,) and I have decided to work here for now.
