Vietnam Day 4 - Back to HCM




















the sky is reali very blue hor? so much nicer than in SG... esp now so hazy... it was abt 7am local time... bus's leaving at 8!! one hour for marketing and b/f!















ok last look at the morning marketeers b4 we set off...















the greens...





















oh we tried another alley that morning! it's quite a cosy alley hor? everyone juz sits in 2 rows backfacing and enjoying the hot hot soup in the cool cool morning.... *slurpzz*
















yb got the window seat and was smapping away like no need money one... ok lah... digital photos really no need money one la.... this is a good one.... i meant the pic....




















it's a freaking 6-7 hr journey... tentative timing.... in actualy fact we reach at abt 6pm in the evening... it's 10 hrs!! see the tiredness in my eyes....???















class dismissed!! i think 98% of the students there cycles to sch.... their sch muz be damn big and has efficient park attendent... so many bicycles!! i din manage to capture a view that the whole stretch of road was a streak of white (uniform)...




















i caught a cold in Dalat... Jialatzz.. i wonder how i'll survive if i go to a winter country...




















stop-over! toilet and snack break....

















now u know why it took a freaking 10 hrs le? bus inefficient... was moving very slowly so the driver stopped many times to do fixing...
















we went back to the same hotel we stayed on our 1st day.. but the room was occupied le!! only left with 2 more expensive ones... we're quite unwilling to pay the extra la.. so we ahead to look for others lor...initially planned to go to a sister hotel they recommended, cheaper... as soon as we stepped out we were pouched!! we went to take a look at thie apparently newly build hotel... the location not very good.. very isolated, and u need to go thru dark alleys to get to the hotel... and room no curtains, thou they claimed that the glass is "special"... we decided to give that sister hotel a try... so we went ahead... and passed by the 1st hotel... this time round, they told us tat coz' we've stayed with them b4, they'll give us special discount!! same price as the 1st day's!! haha.... aiyah i think they're juz afraid their customers beoing pouched lah.....


oh!! the pic!! yah.... "mai hum, mai hum mai hum mai hum~~"
only SGD$1..!! but we think we're carrot-chopped le... coz they sounded like the price was anyhow quoted...
















back to the trusty Original Bodhi Tree for dinner.... messy hair... oh yah... it was drizzling...

















30 cents coffee maker!! acutally it's juz a filter la...















our dinner... mock chicken!! haha... moulded de...

















oh this is one very active dalmatian!! i cant take a proper pic of him... he keep moving abt!!




















and yes... he stood on his hind (called rearing) and gave me 2 kicks with his front paws... like i said... it was raining...


















on our way back to the hotel after much vargaininga nd shopping... i got myself an adidas and a puma! SGD$6 each! i thik they're genuine goods... leaked out from local factories.... i like this pic leh....
















i've lost count how many soya bean drink we had this trip le... only 20 cents...




yb managed to bargain this from D15,000 to D8,000!! i thikn the only way to bargain is when u wanna buy things which u dun realli want very very much....
