Vui long cho ca phe nong!

I used to go to Vietnam quite a lot for work. It's quite a fantastic country, especially considering their very harsh history.
If you have never had the chance to try Vietnamese coffee, I highly recommend it. During one of my early trips, I had a breakfast at an hotel in Ho chi minh city. One of these very nice buffets with lots of foods and delicious fruits. And coffee! This beautiful coffee with spicy aromas, which really tastes like a mix of cocoa and coffee. Very smooth and so nice to drink. I must have drunk about 2 liters of that coffee in the morning. I then went to the office, and of course in Vietnam coffee is also a social activity, so I went for another coffee with a colleague in a local cafe. Back in the office, I could not help notice that my hands were animated of a life of their own. I was super jittery. And then my system completely shut down and I had to go to the hospital. The hospital staff were wonderful and informed me that while Vietnamese coffee is very easy to drink, it can also be as strong as an expresso. I did manage to overdose on coffee. Which is pretty embarassing and lead to a lot of jokes of course from my Vietnamese colleagues. It has not stopped me from drinking their coffee though.
This track is maybe about this experience. The title means "a hot coffee please". I kinda like this track but I feel I let it down as it's only about 60% done. The transitions are rough, it misses some top melody and some main appeal. It's like the demo of a demo. I should revisit it one of these days.
