Vietnam Trip

2 Dec 2007, the day I flew off to Vietnam for my 8 days trip! =)


First night at Ho Chi Min City (otherwise known as Saigon). The local guide brought me to the coffee place (Window's Cafe) where it's v popular with Vietnamese. The place has just been newly renovated. V nice n posh. hee hee... Love the lighting, esp...



A picture of Vietnam Government House.


Notre Dame Church... (They call it the red church...)


You won't believe this train station looking building is actually a post office! =) V nice!!!

Vietnamese handicraft... superly amazing. =)


Day 4-5, we flew to central vietnam- Danang... =) First day was bright n sunny. The next 2 days were raining non-stop...

Old streets of Vietnam.

Cute Doggie...

We did a short boat ride after walking through the old street...



Some Vietnamese students. =) Say 'Cheese'!
Posh Hotel room- Golden Sand Resort... =)

Coffee with Wai Yuen...

Authentic Vietnamese Coffee... Have patience... the coffee drips from the sieve (beneath the metal cup) drop by drop...

Deco of Golden Sand Resort Lobby. V spacious n grand. =)

The next day where we visited the Nguyen Dynasty Palace. The remains of it actually... Many parts of it has been destroyed during the Vietnam War.



From day 6 - 8 of our trip to Vietnam, we flew north to Hanoi. From Hanoi, we took a ferry to Halong Bay, which boast of exceptional beauty of mother nature.

We lived on board the Huong Junk Boat for one night in the calm seas of Halong. We enjoyed really good seafood on board the Junk Boat. On board, we also played card games, tried fishing (but never caught anything) at night.


We climbed a small mountain at the Halong Bay area. A photo that I took with the local guide- Ah Xiang. =) She's a really sweet and fun lady to be with. =)


One of the beautiful caves we visited. It's blue because of the lighting. But most of all, I love the texture of this piece of cave wall...


We visited 'Zheng Guo Gu Shi' back at Hanoi. Some photos...



One of the busy markets in Hanoi. They've lotsa roses and other flowers there. Because of the cool climate, the flowers were really beautiful and sold very cheaply. Understand from the guide that 1 rose = S$0.02 only. And a nice bouquet all wrapped up is approximately S$1.50 only.

Amazed at the type of dry products they sell at the market. =) And the way they pack n display the goods. =)
