Spent a week in Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City. Booked my flights about a month ago. Flew solo for the first time. My uncle & aunty are staying there which is why i decided to fly to Vietnam for a holiday. They were extremely generous in giving a place to stay & bringing me around HCMC. Am very grateful for the generosity & hospitality.
HCMC to me, is a mix of the modern world & olden days. Idk how to explain really. HCMC wasn't what i expected it to be. In fact, it was better than i imagined it to be. I thought they were close to 3rd world kinda situation. But their're actually pretty up to date. I had a relaxing time there & i love the food! They have many French restaurants/cafes around. & They taste good! Its so not the lousy kind i swear.
My lovely friends & R who send me off & woke up early to have bf w me! Hehe (:

It's a must to order their famous housemade mojito called "2 Lam Son". I dont even like alcohol but i love this drink!
Loving my new hair cause i just cut it. Length is much more manageble now which is what i really wanted. It is the BEST haircut i've ever had & im sad i cant findone as good as the one i did in Vietnam :( $35 for blow, wash, head massage & cut! So darn cheap & totally worth it.
My cousin was so cute. She did up a welcome note for me.
To book the vespa tour:
Flower market.
Tbh, i wldn't recomnned gg for the Vespa tour. It is expensive, & sadly, boring. I mean, u do get to learn a lil history bout Vietnam. But it's more towards the religion side & during my tour, i was brought to several temples. In which, no offence to anyone, wasn't of any interest to me. Also, HCMC is kinda mixed w a modern & run down concept. So really, there isnt much worth sight seeing. So unless u've got money to spare & js wanna have a thrill ride on what it's like to sit on a vespa, then go ahead. If not, don't waste your money. I felt it was a total waste of money. The places i was brought to during the tour was what i've seen in SG. So it's really nothing new or fascinating for me. I found it to be plain boring.
The cathedral. Such beauty.
Post office.

The places i went to buy fabric for tailoring. The address is in the pic.
If you are keen on tailoring your fabric, go to this shop:
Nha May| Ngoc Tan
Luong dinh cua-Phuong bing an
Ben Thanh market.
If u come across this shop " PHUC LONG", go in and order milk tea & ask for less sugar. It's really nice!

Steam rice cake with shrimp crumble & pork crackling. Really good.

Their massage was pretty shiok. & It's a higher end massage centre. Affordable & clean.
We had a private tour at Mengkong delta.
Here's a shortclip i posted on my IG on Mekong Delta.
Aunty told me this is satay soup with vermicelli. I quite like it with their given condiments to mix with. Esp when its eaten with basil, its so sooo good!
