Vietnam full post

Well first must say how i get to changi by 5am in the morn. Went to val's hse to stayover tgt with su and winnie. Well we talk crap until fell alp lorh. Then woke up at 4 liddat. But although it was not a long trip to the airport because someone took a long time to bathe in the end we were the last to reach. Then check in, eat breakfast, waste time then went onboard! We took Jetstar. Well it was ok, the seats weren't too big and its abit squeezy but overall still ok. Lol. Too bad i was sitting beside the aisle so didnt get to see much view. Somemore when landing got this idiot's head blocking the whole window causing me to see only the back of his head. Knn.

The vietnam airport is really quite small compared to changi airport and it has few shops in it also. Lol. Then we got on the coach and went to attend a talk by people from the Ho chi minh city Environmental protection agency. I actually learn alot sia. Like the problems in the city and how they are trying to solve it.

Then went to sit on a boat ride on the saigon river. The river is so dirty can. Lol. Then boss dun like it. But seriously its quite bored since there's no nice scenery due to squatters and ships all around and nth to do.

Then lunch at a place where bill clinton visited b4. So WOW can. Lol but the food is seriously nice ok. Then we went to visit the Cu Chi tunnel. So interesting sia really. U see people using their daily tools to help win the war. Using tools to dig out tunnels and using it to fight the americans is just too pro man. We tried going in the tunnel and it was sooooo scary. I rmb all of us were like wtfed at the part where there is total darkness.

Then we check in at the hotel which we will stay in the next 4days. Tan hai long hotel. Well for the night i didnt do much things so no point saying.


Day2
Went to vietnam university to have an exchange with them. The ppl there are real nice but i just dun really feel like socializing. Call me dao, stuckup or watever u like. Then went to a talk on some township stuff like how they develop a town while still conserving the environment.

Then went to the chinatown which was totally crowded can. No space to walk one lorh. Their goods is like take up 60% of the space of the walkway. Only rmb winnie and liyana bought perfume there.LOL. Then back to hotel.

Day3

We went to visit the Vietnam singapore industrial park. I was real interesting with the very gd speaker. Serious i tink first time i have a talk which i am fully listening to. Then we went to the wind and water cafe house and bar. Had break there with coffee or tea.

Then we went to their zoo. Eh quite eyeopener sia. Maybe cause i too long nv go to zoo liao. Yes its hot but i tink its fun. Then went back le lorh.

Day4
We went to the Mekong river to do water sampling. Got to do the testing myself so yah. The whole trip was quite long though since we went from downstream to upstream and back down again. Then went to bentham market to see the place. Then had dinner on a cruise. Went back to hotel after that lorh.

Day5
Gathered at 9 i tink. Then the coach brought us all around the city for a last look. Then is off to airport for flight. Then finally after i change seat with jing ting (thank you so so so very much!) I got the window seat! YaY. Then reach back airport after waiting with rui xin and winnie for her godfather come me and ruixin took mrt home.

Note that i didnt mention must of each event since i'm tired of typing it all out. I just wanna say that i'm really grateful to the tour guides for making this a really enjoyable trip. Especially karen whu was very helpful and kind and concerned about all of us.

Guess i'll post another one soon on my personal thoughts and reflections.
