back again to post more, as i`ve promised.
so here goes...
a bit of the language i`ve picked up:
of course, i can`t type it out properly..
only can type out the pronounciation.
ca phe - coffee.
pho - their famous beef noodle.
ge meng - thank you.
ji niu ding - how much is it? [cost price]
bay - boarding(?)
cha da - ice tea
now, here comes some photos.
some interesting food.
1. the 'standing' fish.
2. the big brown ball known as 'konglongdan'.
3. rice is in the blue flowery china.
process of entering a super small tunnel.
vehicles going in different directions, playing a game of seeing who can go nearest to another vehicle without crashing?
didn`t manage to take photos of any motorcycle with 4 people on it..
well.. but it can be seen there.
anyway, that photo above has 1 motorcycle with goods.
yeah, quite common sight there too.
this picture somehow reminds me of the hotel in sydney, boulevard hotel.
but as i took out the photos to compare, i found it was more or less different.
the above one is taken in vietnam.
the one below is boulevard hotel, sydney.
i think it`s the windows. HAHA!
illusions, i suppose.
the sampan which almost capsized, with me in it.
oh yes! and there`re lots of guards in green uniform who helps tourists cross the roads. LOL! reminds me of china. every tourist attraction in the city, you`ll see those people...
the adults all say that the present vietnam was just like singapore, 20 to 30 years back.
i didn`t consume any chicken in vietnam. HAHA! now then i realise...
we survived on can drinks, packet drinks and mineral water brought over from singapore during the previous days.
overall, i conclude that this trip was only okay okay...
so far, australia`s still the best, but expenses are a bit too high...
and vietnam`s too dangerous. =x
i failed once again @ 8:47:00 pm
