What an incredible afternoon and festival we had! Despite the scorching sunshine and endless blue skies of Mai Chau, Hoa Binh VN.
 The heat was a bit overwhelming XD. But nothing could halt the party's momentum, continued with gusto until the very end ( extra 30m haha ). There were countless hugs, happy tears, and love lingering in the air... an amazing time in life!

The festival was irresistible; it compelled me to stay up for 2 days straight (perhaps a tad regret. Though I could have managed it better with some rest and sleep, but worth every single minute to enjoy the whole lovely Sunday with everyone. Every moment was thoroughly enjoyable, lost in daydreams induced by the beautiful music of every DJ. It was all so delightful and fulfilling my soul , thank you again for being there and sharing a wonderful day with us, and here are record to live in that moment once or more times :D
