We had a cosy setting for our Deep Discount Shopping and Spa outing this week. Artisan retailers and foot massages were its highlights!

Ladies enjoying the Natural Skin Care Workshop at Aveda Spa, packed with tips to look their best this festive season and beyond.

Art Deco buildings to weapon cellars, CIA helipads to bathtubs in cafes..we ladies braved through it all at our outing this month!

We were so fortunate to visit a serial entrepreneurs’ garment and furniture factories, that stand well on the list of the economic contributors to Vietnam’s growth in the recent years. And we had tons of fun going to far flung districts and eating rice noodles with the workers who make it happen!

Ladies enjoyed the tips and treats at Aveda Herbal Spa in our today’s workshop on hair and skin care, ending in having Indian lunch.

We  had a fun and informative morning at the Ao Dai museum in D9, where we  were enlighted about the impact that historical events have had on this Vietnamese traditional clothing style.

The outing was followed by lunch at Villa Song, a riverside restaurant in Thao Dien,D2.

We had a fun and interesting day in D7,  starting at Spin and Gogh’s pottery studio. After the pottery demo, we continued with our chit chat during coffee, proceeded for an American lunch, and then explored the malls and supermarkets of the area

Artinus 3D Art Museum is an interactive art gallery, which gives it visitors a truly wonderful experience in the magic of 3D. This museum has more than 100 different 3D paintings, created by Korean artists. The artworks are created in a way that the visitors can step inside them and be part of some stunning 3D scenes.

After the museum visit, we met for lunch at Q.itchen Factory, an Asian inspired ‘destination dining’ experience in a surprising location!

Everyone had a great time at this outing!
