    Saigon aka Ho Chi Minh

    I was glad that Air Asia has improved so much. People always complained that Air Asia delays all the time. But not this time. For the pass two years, AA has improved alot. They actually reached the destination ahead of schedule. Reached Saigon in less than 2 hours! Their airport is new! It was built by the Japanese.

    First thing first, we got out of the airport, and all we saw on the road is motorbikes! According to my tourguide, the total number of motorbikes in Vietnam is 50% of their total population. Imagine that!

    So we went to visit this building which was built after the independence. Nothing much...

    The first night, we had our dinner on a cruise. Nothing special about it. We had our dinner and waited for one and a half hour for the cruise to start the journey. Boring...


    The second day was alot better. We went to the battle ground the Vietnamese and American used to have war. Vietnamese built underground tunnels and traps around that area.
    And my brother went into the tiny hole for hiding.

    Other than that, the museum was interesting. They have all the old guns kept there. And FYI, they have all the pictures of children borned in abnormal way caused by the Agent Orange used by the Americans during Vietnam War.

    Oh, if you didn't know, Vietnam coffee is one of the best coffee in the entire world! You really have tried it out. Its totally different from Malaysia coffee. Well, obviously, the way of drinking the coffee is different. Patience is needed for this.

    3rd day, we visited Mekong River.
    We went to the Fruit Island and we get to eat all the fruits there for free. But honestly, the fruits in Malaysia is wayyyy better than the fruits in Vietnam lah.
    Then, we sat on the little sampan to get to our big boat from the Kampung .
    We ate the famous dish in Mekong too. Some fish lah. Don't remember.
    Last but not least, I'll end this post with a picture of the crazy traffic in Vietnam Saigon again!
