2:33 PM - Ho Chi Minh Day 1

Okay. I upload a lot of photos. It is really A LOT!

The time now is 6.32pm. Enjoy the pictures okay?

5.30am @ Budget Terminal. My first time being there and it's really super budget. Everything look very cheapo. We're checking in the luggages (:

Before entering the gates, we went to Hans to have our breakfast. As usual, my family was the latest to reach. Awww~ they have been used to it anyway. WAHAHAHA!

Of cause, DUTY FREE shopping!!! We spent like few hundreds there. Mummy got her Dior Capture P60/80 XP Ultimate Wrinkle Restoring Cream. I got my YSL Easy Liner for Eyes (Eyeliner Automatique)

We camwhored inside the waiting area. Haha. Both of them look like mega stars avoiding the paparazzi. Heehee! Funny.

Me, myself and I. Wooooo. Really excited.

Budget terminal needs you to walk to the plane. Haha, and they do not allow photo taking. I did it and was catch in action. :(

But this picture is so nice lah!

While reaching our destination... Pretty pretty lake/river/boundaries (whatever you call that)

NICE!

Here I come, Vietnam! (:

On the travel bus. Not to the hotel..

It was really hot, so I tied up my hair. If you notice, I changed the shades too. HAHA. My cousin's.

On the bus! Their roads are filled with motors. SO SO SO many of them.

SEE!

This was common, really. No joke. 4 was okay too.

We reached our destination. Mekong Delta. (: We went on a boat ride along Mekong Delta and it was lotsa fun.

Boat ride.

Daddy & Uncle William.

Daddy & Mummy.

Funny uncle and gf.

Auntie Jessie, the one who always book tours for us! (:

ME! YOU KNOW ME. Haha.

Bell & Wister.

Snapshot of him. (gulps more beer,boy!) Hee.

Me & Stella. My cousin.

Coconut & me.

I love coconut. Coconut love me! :X

Cocococococococonuts!!!

Better view of Mekong Delta. We were at the tip of the boat while snapping.

Lovely cousins.

Me and bell.

Going onto the boat ride (: Let's pose!

Boat ride is super scary lah. SEE below.

The sampan roller auntie. 2 roller each sampan. 4 passengers per sampan. It was drifting and scary. The river seems so so so so so so so far. They must be super tired.

Along with other sampans side by side. Haha. We would need to then tip them, maybe like $2. The ride definitely worth more than that.

No wonder Daddy gave more to their sampan man.

I was with my sister, cousin and aunt on the sampan.

Yay, me.

SEE! It is going towars the sea lah. It was then very scary and the sampan was drifting side to side as the current went by.

We freak out, seriously. BUT it was good to try. I would go for the ride again, I like the excitement.

When we are at the fruits feast.

Aunt and mummy!

Feast? Hahaha.

They sing for us. Of cause, you neeeda tip them.

After everything, we went to have dinner.

Saw this and took a picture of the Buddha. Beauty :D

Took a picture!

Lunch peeks

Fish.

And super big dinosaur ball. I don't know why it is called that. But the meal was all right.

After dinner, we went back to our hotel. It was pouring and we are so so cold. The roads was flooded and water splashing up everywhere.

*There is one thing about Vietnam, which is that there is a lot of little children begging for money. Or even selling postcards or chewing gums to earn money. I felt so much for that. They are as young as 4 years old. Going around alone to earn money. Or toddlers with their mums. It was really sad to compare us. We have all that we want, but what they need is just a fill in their stomachs.*

Our hotel. Very comfortable and nice. Better than what I have expected (: Elios Hotel.

They have the gym at the 12th floor, which really made our day. We were so afraid that we would gain weight, so after every heavy dinner we went up to shake our bodies! :D

The lobby.The room. 604. The toilet.

After checking in and everything, we went to have dinner at cruise.

Focus at the back. Haha. The fishy cruise we dine at.

Lalala~ dinner time.The crazy cousin and I. Hahahahahaha! I can't help but... laugh so hard. See his mouth. We're trying to do the big swollen mouth thingy, but I failed. My steady cousin was good. HAHAHAHA.Oh yea, there was this singing kinda stage for the audience. :) My aunt is such a fab singer. When she started singing, everyone was looking for the singer. She has really good vocals. The picture tells it all.Now it's Auntie Ah Suan's turn. She's super steady lah. She went up and dance! Daring, I say. Hahaha.
