Vietnam Trip Part 1

I decided not to do by day 1 day 2 etc. Coz I probably forget the exact day that did that exact activity. Hence, part 1 may be day 1, 2 or 3 etc.

Anyhow, Vietnam is a wonderful place in some areas and a god forsaken place in others.

Departed at the terminal. Photobucket

The airport of Vietnam looks welcoming. Hopefully the place looks the same as well. Sad to say, it's nt. A tour guide named Jerry from the agency came to fetch us. Then came a mini bus. I thought it was to take the luggage only! Photobucket

But it was luggage plus Passengers! It was overcrowding. Weather's the same as Singapore. The bus uncle started horn-ing. I thght it was some car or scooter who gt in the way.

Turns out, it's a culture there to inform scooters that the bus is approaching. and Vietnam alone has 4 MILLION scooters! It's really alot! almost equivalent to a population of SG.

And the first thing that GREETED ALL OF US IS THIS!

Power!

We had our first lunch at Roma Coffeeshop. Vietnamese called cafe as coffeeshop. Another difference from Singapore.

The food was great. Especially the Kuay Teow Beef Noodle known as PH O~ *fu-er* The soup is alil sweet and the noodles were smooth. Bt portion is compromising.

We reached the Guest House around evening. It's known as the Vietnam People's Society. Some military places with guards etc. No Hotel sux!

Shared room with jeremiah and colin. The room is liked a normal apartment look. Not really comfortable with it initially. It doesn't look very clean.

Have our first dinner
