#33 Vietnam
Hi all...just came back from Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam). Well, can use a few words to describe Ho Chi Minh...Motorcycles, Chaotic, Crowded...The traffic in Ho Chi Minh makes the worst jam in Singapore look like a joke...serious. There are like tons and tons of motorcycles and they is like no traffic police to control the traffic...Anyway...Ho Chi Minh isn't all about this...
Arrived at Ho Chi Minh Airport at about 9a.m. local time and checked in at hotel Equatorial. Our hotel room was F.O.C and we even got the biggest room! (sweet!) There are like 2 freaking big plasma TV in the rooms and like tons of channels too. The room was darn nice! :)Then had complimentry breakfast at the lounge just outside our room...Then...got our personal driver to bring us to the market to do some shopping. Well...just bought a shirt since most of the stuff there were shirts and shoes...We had dinner buffet at the hotel...(suckling pig...sushi...western...chinese). My grandapa's bill was free while mine was 50% off...sian.
2nd day went to "Cu Chi tunnel" where the Vietnamese dug underground to fight the Americans...quite cool I must say. Then tried to do more shopping at Chintown but there were just more clothes and shoes...haiz...
3rd day quite boring so shall not post...except for dinner when we finally went to a traditional Vietnamese restaurant. Found out they like to drink a beer called "bar bar bar" or 333 in English and a drink that consist of soda water, lime and syrup...
4th day had a full breakfast before saying bye bye!

Hi all...just came back from training. Well...must admit training is getting really tough during this hols...Never mind...will be worth it when we pwn the other schools at the Nationals next year and win all the division. Anyway..just watched Madagascar 2. Well...I must say it was shorter than I expected but some parts were really funny...:) At first was debating between Quantum of Solace...but you know...007 movies are so darn predictable...(just different women actors...)
Well...holidays are getting shorter...enjoy while you can!
