There's becoming a little bit of a theme with my posts recently. FOOD! As exams are getting closer I need a perfect excuse to get away from my desk to "revise" with friends. Joma on To Ngoc Van is great since they let you sit there for hours (my record is 5) with only one drink, however the service is rather slow which is fine if you're not in a hurry. One tip is not to wear your ugliest clothes because it's almost guaranteed you will see someone you know.
