DAY 1 - going to Vietnam
dad and mum gt it free because of their job. Top sellers in Quantum Pendant. They bought tickets for me n my sis. We'll be going with a bunch of ppl. There's gonna b 4 bus.. We're in Bus B.
WE ARE MILLIONAIRES !! :D YIPEE!! but its only in Vietnam D: sob !

Look at the pretty clouds :D


Its covered with clouds now !

O.O WE ARE IN A CLOUD ?!

Anyways.. we reached there and went to the OTHER AIRPORT for ANOTHER FLIGHT. sigh.. we'll be spending the whole day getting there.

bought some chocolates in the airport. its made in Vietnam - YUCK :X Malaysia's chocolate is WAY better..

Reached Vietnam and had my 2nd dinner there, and they gave out roses! how sweet.
Owh yea.. its my 2nd dinner because we took 2planes to get here and 1 was lunch and the other was dinner :D haha !

Our little pink bus !

:D

in the hotel room.

DAY 2Breakfast the next morning

Went to see a dead body o.0 and it was Mr. Ho Chi Mihn's. We wern't allowed to bring any camera and some stuff.. you must put your hands and the side,not the back and you could not talk.. u had to pass through the thing juz like the airport. Some1 from my bus brought a banana and when she cross.. BEEP BEEP BEEP! they thought she brought a weapon xD And guess what, just to see this dead body.. you must wait and walk a very very long way. There's a lot of ppl queing up..
We wanted to go to the toilet and the tour guide said we must go in somewhere - they had a gate and its one way. He passed us a ticket thingy and we passed it to the guy in charge to enter the place. We walked all the way following the ppl. And walk and walk and walk. ITS REALLY REALLY REALLY FAR ! there's actually some stuff to see too.. and blabla.. we're juz looking for the toilet. Because of that we got to walk all the way.. and let me remind u, its only one way straight. we crossed a big cage with a peacock and a atap house with guards. Then we crossed a HUGE pond which brings us the the other side of the pond and pass the duno wad garden and finally the toilet.
Then we continued and try to find a way out found some stalls and kept walking. Till we reached a gate thing, but thats the way out to the whole town thingy. And we dont know how to find them from there. We waited quite awhile but found no one... ( forgot to tell u, when we're at the stalls we kept walking here and there dunno where to wait. Dad wasnt with us. And we bumped into 2 small groups of ppl from the same bus, we got tgt and find a way out) then, Uncle Voon said we should go out from that compound and walk around following the side back to the place.. and so we did. cause we couldnt turn back from there, they wouldnt let us out - ITS ONE WAY ! We walked all the way there and found that its where we start queing up to see Ho Chi Mihn's dead body. We got to get pass that before we could get to where we entered the place to the toilet where their waiting.
We kept walking around looking for the bus. And we saw a group of bus on the right side quite far away.Mum said she think its there.. So everyone walked their with red faces and sore feet. Some ppl took off their heels. :D haha.. Walked all the way there and guess what? WE FOUND THE BUS ! I thought we'd never find the way.

By entering the place to go to the toilet , you could see this. The yellow building i mean.

Then we reached the place with the bus.. And yeah...

We passed this to come all the way to the bus. The tour guide said it was quite impossible for us to find the bus ! Everyone's been searching for us inside that compound. Dad even kinda shouted.. i think o.0 nt as loud tough : Where's my children ?! << well.. thats wad David said. Our tour guide. =)

In the bus :D only us.. they're still inside looking for us !

They said if you touch the heads of the turtle you could study better.. so something like that. Those things written are the thingy where the students studied super hard trying to enter the palace thing - juz like the chinese history.

=]


The temple.

A pheonix.. with short tail o.0


still in the temple.

These are some of the buildings here in Vietnam. =) Look at those wires ! There's so many of them ! The big ones are for electricity and the small ones are phone lines i think.. or the other way around. David told us but i forgot.

Look at the price for the food ! and also the drinks ! FEW THOUSAND ?!


This is the padi field :D there are farmers working there.. sometimes you could see some cows and wad u call that.. the kerbau.. There's a lot of padi field here in Vietnam. They're famous for growing the rice. something like that.

in the bus. the guy in orangy pink clothes is the tour guide. He's really nice. He went down to buy some stuff for us to try in the car . (Food i mean) And if we wanted it, we would help us buy.. We saw them at other stalls and those were the same but the prices are more expensive.
This is a kuih they would give out during weddings and things like that. The gave us each 1 to try. Mum bought a bag home - RM50 with 4big boxes inside. 1 big box had 6 of this little kuih in the small box.


The inside.

THERE ! the kerbau!

At the other hotel.. forgot to tell u we went to another hotel to stay :D
We came from Hanoi to Halong Bay.

( before that we went to this place where the ppl in vietnam sew pictures and all. They frame it up. Everything was had sew. They sold dresses too and some stuff like vase and plates. There were also fountains and all. But no camera was allowed, thats y i dint took the picture and forgot to talk about it :D All of it was BEAUTIFUL! i wished i had the money! ) Anyways.. back to the night market, the bag was something that you could tell is from vietnam :D They had the hand sewed pictures on top of it.. and it was really beautiful. but it was too expensive D: sob..
DAY 4 - Going home.
Since we checked out of the hotel at 3am +, we couldn't have breakfast in the hotel. Our tour guide - David, prepared some breakfast for us in boxes that we could eat in the bus.
