Yet, the mood for blogging abt it is all gone. I can't rem things in detail after so many days and minutes. Just let you view some of the pictures taken.
Here it goes!
First stop was Ho Chi Minh, the biggest city in Vietnam. Upon arrival, i was shocked that there wasnt any linkway from the airplane to airport like what we have it in Singapore. No, it doesnt only happen in undeveloped coutries. Korea is like that too. Weird isnt it? Met the tourguide and got onto a minubus. On the way, we saw many many thousands of motorbikes on the road. It was quite scary for me at first. But after a while, i got used to it. Nevertheless, crossing roads was nv an easy job there especially when it's quite disorientated. Went to Binh Tay market and boarded a cruise along Saigon river for dinner.
Second day, we went to see Cu Chi Tunnel! One of the more memorable ones cos we had to crawl under the tunnel. It used to be a warsite where the Americans attacked the Vietnamnese.
And then...
They are using turtle shell to make what u saw on the left of the pic! Cool lehh.
Third day, we proceeded to take a flight to Hue in central part of vietnam.
( This was where the different kings used to stay in)
Visted the tomb areas. Though is TOMB, but look, this is damn magnificent. Picture doesnt look that nice though. Is made up of different clays (like those pots kind) and imagine the whole place filled up and "glue-ed" with such clays. The king spent a year of the country's revenue constructing his tomb place. Like for what? Maybe he could predict that it will be a place for tourist attaction for now.Next up, went to Danang and caught the BIG BUDDHA and some moutains.
Believe me, is super big. Lol.Continued to sit long ride bus to Hoian (bascially we spend alot of time travelling on bus and travel Km and Kmsssss until we had big butts and fats growing all over our bodies.) Caught the commerical port and chinese/jap style bridge. Vietnam has a mix of cultural buildings, abit from here and there.
Fifth day, took flight again to Hanoi the capital of Vietnam. The tour guide was HORRIBLE. He kept walking and just left us alone and didn't elaborate and talked much. And our own Mr Buhhda had to explain the trip himself. (Mr Buhhda was one of our clique. He's fat and round and looks ci xiang. So we called him Mr Buhhda) (Siying, stop laughing)
Beautiful latterns there.Sixth day, went to Ho Chi Minh's old residence and his Mausoleum.
There were many many many people and we had to queue up to look at his preserved body. We saw how their army marched and couldnt stop laughing. Sorry, we know we are bad kids, cant help it.
(i think is too small, u cant see how long the queue was)Live people queuing up to see dead people. I wonder why. No lah, is respect!
Mrs Chen Ma was trying to pose as Ho Chi Minh in the museum.
I had nothing to do so i ran over to these two ladies and secretly took a picture with them!
After lunch, we went to CASINO!! We tried our luck there, but not much luck. BOoooo.
Day 7! Went to the famous Halong Bay (one of the wonders) where we visited Thien Cung Cave and Dau Co Cave. Saw natural things like zhu ba jie head, monkey's god rod and bla bla bla. It's up to you to believe whether those things are real when u see it. Quite interesting i would say.
Finally i was damn excited when i saw my house while taking a plane back to changi aiport on the eighth day.
Im getting more and more tired of blogging this. Uploading pic is such a troublesome chore!!! Say me lousy i dont care. Lol.
BURN OUT after uploading the pic,
Ah Chen
