anyway on Vietnam.. it was a summer 'special' sem module not a Holiday which i need so badly. but nonetheless i travelled with people i dont usually hang out with in school and though it was fun but i must say, i miss kelly caderam nana and eug lee
click!
first stop Ho Chi Minh city. the plane ride there was horrible! the runway rocky as it can be, almost made me puke! haha but i didnt thank god. hehe welcome to HCMC
the streets and roads were filled with motorcycles, our bus stuck up like a sore thumb in the vast pool of motorcycles. the roads were super uneven and dirty! haha people could pee on the streets, men women and child. not paiseh! the outlook of the city looks old, it looks like a mix of both the street scene of bangkok and malaysia.
crossing the road was a hassle, screaming and fearing i would be knocked down by the motorcycles which filled the road. but after some time we got use to the traffic and crossed with NO FEAR =P (yeah right) to aid our crossing, there are green mans standing in the middle of the road, they're the tourist police. they stopped traffic for us when we wanna cross the roads but they're only located at the touristy place.
our hotel was unexpectedly great, 3 star hotel has everything like wifi and massage parlour but no facebook. =P the room was spacious and the toilet is huge hehe.
we were only 10mins walk away from Ben Thanh market. It's similar to chatuchak in Bangkok but more organise and cleaner. rows of shops ranging from clothes to fresh food produce. there's one thing i didnt like about the place was perhaps because the passage ways were real small and the store holders were touching our arms everytime we walk pass.
