back from Hanoi ( vietnam) 7D/6N

everything all budget. calulated cost: $400++ (includes accomdoation, food, drinks, transport) so cheap cos is budget. we ate a total of 15 cup noodle in room to save $.

and ya i spoke french. =D hEEZ... at last, i can use the language u learnt to cummunicate. Vietnam is ruled by french lastime before america war, so they can speak french. i communicate with them by using simple french.

shall keep it simple & short. Some Facts about Vietnam:

1) They have a damn freaking large amount of motorbikes. i dunno how to cross their road. I was stuck on the road for 3 mins, i just stare and wonder how to cross. But i later discover to be so fun crossing, cos u know they will AUTOMATIC stop for you. You juz have to be daring. Cross like the locals. Or else u can forget abt crossing.









2) They love to Horn. Motor horn, car horn, buses horn, taxis horn. the whole country is horning. my ear is buzzing. 24 hr non stop horn. even at nite, they aso horn. i cant sleep at time due to excessive horning. NON STOP.





3) They are good drivers. VERY good. no accidents. despite the fact so many motorbikes. traffic heavy.


4) They live like Singapore in the 40s & 50s. according to my ah ma and uncle. Tools, not so clean ( don say dirty) pavement. rubbish on the road. ppl squat down to have their meal. Just a simple table, and 3 tools and they can start a business.


5) The dead people lies on the street openly. i saw one naked body of a man lying down the street. and the coffin was just beside him. his body was little decompose. his face turn a little black.


6) They are once a communist country. so u can still see they are a bit of old fashion, communist thinking. they love their country a lot! Everywhere, u can hear the national anthem, ppl standing still to show respect.

7) There are lots of shops for you to shop. but there are not a single big shoppin mall. all are small shops. where u can bargain. things are expensive in Vietnam. not cheap. Joyce, u want fan? for you kies.

tins i bought...

8) the Viet. girls are quite pretty. ( argh.. okay, i shld say VERY PRETTY) that explains why so many men lookin for Viet. girls.. they are sweet lookin, with like more feamine. and ya like take care of their family. more family based orineted. unlike girls back home... =D no offence though.


9) Viet. ppl are not so friendly. (unlike in Thailand) They are more rude, fierce. When we bargain for the items, if we name too low, they simply take a broom and chase us out the shop.

10) it's a coolin climate when i visit vietnam. so ya temp around 15C- 25C. great climate walking down the street.

11) Their water puppet show rox! simply nice. But hard life...

12) The scenery is nice.
