Calling home: Giles Cooper in Hanoi

From Sunday Morning, 8:30 am on 29 October 2023

Cantabrian Giles Cooper has many strings to his bow – lawyer by day, bar owner by night.

Arriving in the Vietnamese metropolis of Hanoi in 1999, he opened a New Zealand style café, Puku, and hasn’t looked back since.
