Day 01

Ok, today let start my 1st journey in Asia. Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh City)
Previously name Saigon but later they have changed to 'Ho Chi Minh City'
On arrival, heard alot of Honking around, the rumble of a million motobikes, the cries of hawkers and the buzz of business transactions are as ever-present as the tickle of the streets and city. It was so crowded that i ever seen.
Our hotel was in District 1, Thom Thock, clean and fine, only USD25 per room/nite. After checking-in, Me and Shanice go and check with some travel agency for our sightseeing tomorrow. It was impress that, they have alot of travel agencies at the District 1. So at the end, we managed to booked the Chu Chi Tunnel tour and city tour from SINH CAFE agency. It just cost us USD20 inclusive the entrance of Chu Chi Tunnel. Then we took our vegetarian dinner at vietnamese restaurant.

Day 02 - 8.15 am


2 hours journey to Chu Chi tunnel. Half of the way, we have stopped by A.M Lacquerwares Manufacturer Factory. Later proceed to Chu Chi Tunnel. Visit a network of more than 250km long underground dug-out which being used during VN-USA war. The network, parts of which was several storeys deep, included innumerable traps doors, constructed living area, storage facilities, weapons factories, field, hospitals, command centres & kitchens. We dig deeper and see what is went on...
After Chu Chi, we proceed for our city tour but we have to change the bus at the Sinh Cafe terminal. We visit to Notre Damn Cathedral, War Remnants Museum, General post office. In HCH no need to worry, coz many restaurants, agencies and cafes coz many KUI LO.

Day 03 8.00 am HCH - Mui Ne


My first time heard Vietnam got Sanddunes?? so must go and see... this morning, we are so exciting, we took the Dbl Decker Public Bus to Mui Ne. Can you believe it? Vietnam got Sanddunes? 6 hours journey from HCH city. So we have decided stay 1 night at Canary Beach Resort. It just USD59 per pax inclusive transport, accommodation and sightseeing. Tak mahal juga ahh.. when we arrival, lucky we meet some vietnamese friends can tumpang us to the Hotel, coz the driver just stop us at the station. After checking-in, got a young man - our driver guide pick up us by Jeep to Fairy Stream (Suoi Tien). We need to walk along the river to see the Stream.Beware! too many kids follow and guide you at the end asking the money.....
Later proceed to Red Canyon.. haha what a suprise, just a small little Canyon. Then we need to take about 30 minutes to White Sanddunes (Doi Cat Trang)... It was so beautiful.













Day 04 0900am Mui Ne - HCH

This morning, we continue to Yellow Sanddunes (Doi Cat Vang), Fishing Village (Lang Chai) and Mui Ne market. You can purchase the vietnamese coffee maker with USD1.5 only! cheap! After the sightseeing, we check out and transfer to Bus station and took the bus back to CHC. Around 6pm we arrived in the city. For vegetarian, no need to be worry, coz HCH got alot of VeGe restaurants. And Vietnamese spring roll is nice and good taste! Tonight was Beijing Olympic Opening Ceremony, so we tak boleh tahan nak tengok, so we just "Ta Pao" to our room and watching the ceremony....
