Saigon

Ho Chi Minh City is the current name and Saigon was its former name. the first thing that insantly caught my attention when we first got into the cab was the way they drive. it was crazy! the line on the roads, the traffic lights, the motocycles and the public was all over. there is no such thing as rules on the road. it was 'siapa ada break berhenti lah'. *erkkk!!* my mum was sitting at the front seat so she got the best view. haha! her reaction was priceless.


the ever trusted friend to get cheap flights last minute
 


the airport
 


the houses
all of which are thin and tall
(org yang xtra siza mau susah bergerak dalam rumah org sane)



the sneakers
branded and cheap
(lots and lots of choices to be made)
 


 the view 1
'i don't know the name' port
(something to remind me of H while i'm there)
i was missing him even more when i saw this



the view 2
the city
(hot and sunny)
clear blue sky



the view 3
their Independance Day
so, i celebrated independance day twice this year
the red lights are all motocycle lights
this is near Behn Than market (the blue light)

Behn Than market = SHOPPING



the view 4
the time was around 6.00 pm
peace and quiet



the sudden trip during the Raya holidays brought me somewhere i never planned to go. it was a trip packed with shopping trips. never really got to see the entire city. would love to do that but did not get the chance. next time maybe. yup, i am going back to Ho Chi Minh City someday not to shop but to learn the culture and the city itself. hee! come and fly with me.
