In November last year, i was overly grateful that a friend of mine invited me to join her in her quick getaway to Vietnam. Since it was my first out of the country trip, i immediately grab the chance and rushed all my travel papers and requirements. On the day of our flight (dvo-mnl), we had a four hour waiting time before our connecting flight to Ho Chi Minh City.                  As planned,. we spent our free time at Resorts World Manila- a first class and first tourist hub in the Philippines. It has a number of hi class restaurants, lodging brands, gaming facilities, hi end cinema, entertainment 1500 seat venue for local and intl productions, and a luxury mall in one establishment. Located just across Terminal 3 Naia International Airport.                                 And so, our 4 hour killing time stopover began. we headed to Stackers.
