Vietnam visit

Once again i went to Vietnam - dec2012. This time pergi dengan my sister-in-law and her hubby. Actually plan asalnya saja-saja nak pergi adik beradik je tapi since masing-masing ada hal tak dapat nak join. Tapi it turned out my SIL's friends ada yang nak ikut. Dari sepuluh orang jadi 20 orang. Maka bermula rombongan cik kiah ke Vietnam.
inilah rombongan cik kiah
Siap untuk naik bas. ladies semua naik dulu the guys tolong masukkan beg dalam compartment.
Sebenarnya we all pergi ni bukan dengan mana-mana travel agency but arrangement was made with the help of my cousin. Flight by MAS and hotel pun 3 star je tapi oklah sebab balik bilik for tidor je. Arrive Ho Chin Mihn airport dah petang. Aturcara bermula sebaik saje sampai sebab nak save time for shopping.
My Sister in law and hubby
Inside post office building. Our first visit
suasana dalam bas. masih awal dan sessi perkenalan bermula.


Our first dinner in ho chin minh city
After dinner and check in, we went out to Ben Thanh Night market. We were lucky because our hotel located immediately infront of the market. Maka bermulalah episod membelilah....

typical room.
Infront of hotel lobby

Window shopping dulu. Survey the price. 
Suasana di pasar malam. Macam pasar malam kita di Malaysia. I told them to survey and familiarise with the currency. No worry our tour guide dah photocopy conversion for comparison. Senang sikit nak bargain nanti. But surprisingly our ringgit is acceptable for transaction. Jadi you all can image masa nak bargain macam kat Malaysia. 

Inilah conversion copy yang we all guna. tak payah guna calculator





Antara barang yang dijual adalah kasut jenama. setakat nak pakai hari-hari buat basahan ok je






Cuba teka berapa baju kurung siap ni. It is cheap and cost you only RM50 , kain dia english cotton and cotton satin. Tapi kalau nak ada kualiti sikit tu kena pergi beli di boutique. Even di boutique pun the price is cheap. Kalau nak dikira dengan upah jahit baju dan manik memang berbaloi.Beli banyak boleh lah bargain sikit. 
How about this one? Yang ni belum bargain that lady offer me RM29. Kalau nak berniaga memang berbaloi beli kat sini. They call this tudung Half Moon. Kita ni manalah pakai macam ni........



The next day we all visited Cu Chi Tunnel . A place where they preserved during Communist era. A historical place and very educational. 

Hadapan pintu tunnel

Typical settlement
Entrance. Sesiapa yang pergi WC inilah masanya sebab kat dalam tu tak ada WC. 



typical pemandangan didalam settlement. 

Inside the tunnel entrance. kena jalan macam itik bila masuk. 
 


At last dapat keluar dari tunnel. According to the guide the original  tunnel opening is small and for porpose of tourism they had enlarge the tunnel. 

Lepas masuk tunnel basuh tangan

Ubi rebus and cicah kacang gula a typical meal during war. Masa pergi dengan  my mum dulu this really remind her  of the past.



Serious mendengar cerita how they survive during war.

Next visit is Mekong River. Naik boat crossing Mekong River.


Me and my youngest


Ready untuk naik boat

Honey plus bee pollent and lemon very refreshing

 Coconut candy in production
Wrap and ready for sale


Lepas tu dijamu dengan minum air kelapa. 

One of the entertainment masa melawat pulau.
Masa we all sampai tu tak ramai lagi orang. Lagipon bukan long weekend. So Malaysian tourist belum sampai lagi.


Inilah rupanya sampan yang bakal we all naik. 
Sampan ride
We all sampai sebelum cuti Krimas, so the streets are decorated with beautiful lights. Tapi jalanrayanya punyalah sesak. Kalau kat KL full with cars but here motorcycles. Kalau melintas tu kena terus je jalan ke hadapan jangan teragak-agak and jangan berhenti di tengah jalan. The motorists are polite( i can say that coz they will give way to pedestrian) and always follow the speed limit. No accident happen. Tak payah pakai AES.


this is at the road junction.


Typical park. They like to exercise coz hospital bill is very expensive.

Damage done. luggage 

Another luggage

Begitu sibuk memunggah beg dan barang-barang di airport

My sister in law and her luggage. Beg masa datang cuma yang berwarna kuning je tapi bila nak balik beranak-anak pula.

Our guide and bus driver

Time to go home
Really had a good time . Bye-bye ho chin minh city...........
