first i would like to apologise to ppl who visited my blog these few days and can't enter my blog as it was privatised.
i came back from vietnam on 26th jan. it was an interesting experience i should say.
i visited Ho Ching Minh city.
First the amount of traffic was shocking. They have very little regard for the traffic rules and it was fun to walk around with so many bikes horning at you. Well, it can be damn pissed off at certain times.
The prices there aren't cheap. many of the owners/sellers marked up their prices 50% -100% higher. And if u go ben thanh market,they will give u different coloured shopping bags to certiify u whether u are a hardcore bargainer or simplly a rich sucker. LOL! i was amazed.
Met a lot of different ppl there, some living in europe and hong kong which was interesting to talk and interact with them.
One very interesting encouter was during the night on New Year's eve when A vietnamese boy no more than 15 years old asked us to cross the road with him because he was scared of the traffic. Seriously, you can't blame him for being scared. he was alone in the dark night with enormous traffic. the best thing was helping out. i realised such things can be very satisfying.=)
well, today we had a farewelll party for nigel(he is going to army tomorrow). Well, he was being his usual self when we met at 1230pm. more than 1 hour plus. lols. ar. nvm then he will learn when he goes into the army. hopefully. he is a nice guy and i wish him all the best in army.
