Male Female

I live alone in a mini apartment in the United district. Although it's a small room, I'm satisfied with it because I enjoy personal space and I like doing everything by myself. I've lived here since I moved to Hanoi last year. Despite having lived here for only a short amount of time, I can already adapt to everything from the bustling and noisy streets to the fast-paced lifestyle of Hanoi. I don't think I'll live here for a long time because my family has a plan to buy a new house in Hanoi for me to live there more easily, therefore I will move.
