Vietnam trip Day 1 to Day 3

Finally get my arse down to upload the photos from my veitnam trip. It's really fun! Met interesting ppl, saw interesting things...

~Day 1 ~















In the cramped up budget airplane, i think i juz woke up...haha















Ho Chi Minh airport














Our hotel in the backpackers district - Red Sun Hotel
Affordable, clean and comforty
The Lady boss was really really nice to us too















Huge market place we went to...kinda reminds me of the wet market we had in the old days















Nice cold dessert...but waaaayy too sweet! If i stay in vietnam for too long, i think i'll get diabetes...















The ladies doing manicure and pedicure at a corner of the huge market...Really cheap...so we girls went to get our pedi done for like 3 bucks sing dollars...hehe















Zao geng already...but then nothing to see lar...haha...In the midst of doing my pedicure














Have yet to mention how scary the traffic is in Ho Chi Minh...for ppl like me who dun even know how to jaywalk in singapore, i practically scream my way thru while crossing the roads on the first day...you cant wait at the side for the traffic to clear cos you wait till sunset they also wont clear...you juz gotta hack it and walk to the destination you want...by 3rd, 4th day, i'm proud to say we girls can cross any streets anyhow we want in vietnam! haha

~Day 2~
Cu Chi tunnel














The hidden trap! No wonder vietnamese won...















Dun see the entrance so darn small...even the ang mo tourists could squeeze their bodies thru when they tried...




























Us with the tanker behind...weather was darn hot and lots of mosquitoes















Imagine those sharp stuffs poking into your ribs while you slowly move down or worst juz get stuck there...pity those american soldiers in the vietnam war...















At the shooting range














it is obviously too loud for my liking...














Taking a break before we squeeze our way thru the tunnel














It was darn cramp and dark inside the tunnel. I kept head butting into the lady infront of me cos i cant see a thing...can only feel! haha...and after the first tunnel i refused to go in again cos i juz couldnt stand being trapped in a small space...claustrophobic..yes...alittle...

After the tunnel tour, we went to walk on our own, visiting the cathedral, post office and more eating place...not to forget our favourite coffee break....
















































































~Day 2~
Mekong River














woke up darn early for this trip...abit blur blur















toilet break...we pee~ed pretty fast plus we dun smoke...so nothing to do we took pic instead lo....haha















Floating market, basically the ppl will hang the food that they are selling on the bamboo stick...so if you sell tapioca you'll hang a bunch on top so that other boats from afar will know what you're selling...if i own a boat...i'll sell bras...haha...imagine bamboo stick with bras hanging and blowing in the wind...how nice...muah haha















Free coconuts for us to drink!




















Stupid fen made me do this pose!















This python is 2 freaking kg...darn darn heavy and very very fat....



















Fen trying darn hard to control its head! muah haha














And off we went cycling for a short while...















Shortly after this pic...i fell off the bicycle...with this auntie screaming in vietnamese...ppl laughing...me scratched my pretty leg...and spoilt my pedicure =( darn darn malu...but it's the highlight of the day...




















I want longans!















See her mouth so big wanna swollow the whole big jackfruit
