hi.. this is just like a diary for me to remember what actually happened etc.
ok, 3rd june... i went to ho chi minh with my 3 girl friends and beloved colleagues.
im not going to write much i think..ive given wordy tips and tricks in previous entry.
here and next entries, perhaps pictures would explain better.. :)
DAY 1 (3rd June 2014, Tuesday)
-it was my first time travelling for hours (1am-5am) by bus at night.
my first time spending my beauty sleep in a bus. uncomfortable as i couldnt straighten my legs. huhu
but........ i survived. Alhamdulillah. hehe.
-flight was at 9 am by MAS.
KLIA airport
looking fresh kannn.. True,,, fresh from bus and sleep. hehe :p
always ready for photos
our cheapskate breakfast. gagaga
Arrived at Ho Chi Minh around 1030 am
we opted for the front seat..sebelah driver yang suka hon and ketawa. ahaha
many motorcycles. Cars were expensive. hence.. motorbikes are the best option!
btw, i love seeing the motocyclists 'fashion'. Unique!
another amazing thing bout Vietnam. the cabels. i saw their electrician repairing the cabels.
i felt like giving him an applause! :p
oh, thanx TNB and TELEKOM Malaysia! hehe
Lunch at Nha Do Red House.
Note: Red House restaurant : Halal (with certificate), food 3 stars, service 4 stars (friendly waiters who can speak Malay), clean and comfy + Wifi! :D
Saigon Cathedral
the cathedral has French influence. Materials were brought from there too.
French was there for missionary purposes.
The Post Office
was designed by the famous guy who designed Eiffel Tower, Gustave Eiffel
War Remnants Museum
Thanh Truong Hotel
Hotel nampak je lokasi tak cantik, sempit and tinggi.
but dalam dia ok.
service pun ok.
refer to tips and tricks entry for more details! hehe
my room was small (they offered many types of rooms..but i got this! huhu).
but it was ok. i could sleep well. ahaha.
View from the 3rd floor
Small toilet but would do for 3 nights. Water hose, checked! hehe
Banana Leaf Halal Restaurant
this was where we met Ust Kazim Elias! hehe.. kat perak tak jumpa pun..
kat Vietnam pula kita ketemu kann..hehe
So the restaurant... Halal, food 3 stars, service 3 stars, clean but quite stuffy (small place)
has wifi! :D
Night Market
-It was very near to the hotel. within walking distance
-start at 6-7 pm until 11 pm plus.
-price was quite the same as Ben Thanh market.
-RM is accepted.
-interesting thing: they have this Dewan Bandaraya thing too; who would check for motorbike's sellers/ street sellers yg xd permit berniaga. So.. whenever they came to inspect, a lil bit of 'chaos' would happen.
few motorcyclists would signal the sellers "wowowowowooo" sth like that.
and in a blink of eyes, street sellers grabbed their stuff and brought em to the nearest shop/ walkway.
clearrr abes..
then tak sampai 5 minutes, open table balik...hehehe
so just careful masa diorang sibuk bagi signal and kemas barang. takut ada yang ambil kesempatan,
ragut sesuatu masa orang kelam kabut.
-BUT...this one is very serious...
be careful ..really careful of pickpocket, snatch thefts and being cheated!
My friends (2 guys) lost their Note 3 and Smart phone at the night market.
i think they were eyed prior to that incident.
So they were preoccupied with phones on their palms..walking while eyes on the phones.
First victim's smart phone was snatched, he yelled to his friend (he was shocked).
then, his friend pulak yg kene snatched.
they walked together actually.
and the thefts, MIA.
but...hehe
that incident was somehow made our trip more fun and merry.
with no phones, they talked and communicated more especially in the bus!
(victims were jokers and hilarious guys!)
hence, more jokes and laughter! hehe.
still, be careful of your belongings k! :D
tips: always attach your phone or camera strings to your hand.
do not take out phones or cameras unless you want to use em. keep em safe.
Keep your wallet, purse or handbag safe too. for handbags, hold em strong, ladies! hehe
p/s: next entry would be our next trip to Delta Mekong and Shopping! :)
