IM back back back back BACK!(:(:(:
Alrights. Ho chi Minh was alrights. Went to the airport. Bought perfumes. Oh, they are so lovely. And did i mention cheap? So, my mum bought 3 for my sis and me. only $200 plus. It's so darn cheap for a guess, escada and paris hilton!
Alrights. So during the trip,I spent half of the time on the bus. Lucky there was the PSP,DS, MP3, Video player to keep us up. The first day we were driven on a 2-hour trip from the airport to the hotel. It was at some beach. Oh my lord. It's the aftermath of a hurricane. Lamp-post down on the floor, trees broken and all the whatnots. The rather alarming part was that we going to stay in a 3-star hotel. At least it made me appreciate 5-star hotels a lot more than i used to. I thank god it was only one night there. After which we just went to a 5-star hotel. And please, it wasnt because i threw a tantrum to get to a 5-star hotel. It's part of the package. really:) And it's only US$90 plus a night. like why not! Okay. so this is pretty much what i saw and learnt there.
- The place looks like spore 30 years back then ( makes you appreciate civillisation and all the technology whatnots! )
- Couples make out at night in public. ( Every tree has 2 couples. you do the calculation )
- they have countless wires all messed up on the lamp-post
- People get married between 18-22 ( If you dont get a soul-mate by then, you belong to the museum)
- For an est of 50 motorcycles, you see a CAR.
- There's no traffic lights. well, yea there are. But It doesnt count since no one even obeys the traffic light ( let alone, zebra crossing )
- If you dont have the guts to make the first step on the road, you'll never get across it since there's endless flow of traffic ( why do you think they need tourist security? )
I mean, that's how we got used to the crossing. You see countless motorcycles, and maybe cars, just driving pass you but you got to just step right infront of them to cross. Meanwhile, you can just pray they stop in time
- when they made the road one-way, people going the opposite direction drives on the pavement. ( oh wait. people going the same direction does that too )
I LOVE TECHNOLOGY.
i'll literally worship it!
