I struck up a friendship with @annietaste on social media over 5 years ago and we've kept in touch because of our love and passion for Vietnamese food and culture BUT we'd never met in-person before UNTIL now! Annie has been living in Helsinki, the capital city of Finland, for more than 16 years and she happened to be visiting Saigon SO I hit her up to find out more about her unique story!
