i wish i could be a fly on your wall. lol

the trip to vietnam was pretty fun
my first time overseas without my parents
but everything turned out well
Thank God for taking the wheel of the planes we were on, protecting us from the scary traffic conditions(i nearly died okayz. haha) and yeah, no flu of any type haha

just gonna talk about the highlights of the trip cause im lazy

LIVING CONDITIONS
1. our hotel was pretty coooool cause it was nice and clean, which was seriously a very pleasant surprise cause it was only 40 USD per night.
2. there were 2 computers downstairs for the guests to use so yeah, not bad. all the workers there were gamers though, whole day play same game. some vietnam dota game i think? haha
3. breakfast buffet was available but there was not variety. we didnt realise we could order pho and noodles so we were quite sad the first morning. ordered it the second morning anyways.

LOCAL TOUR
1. finally visited mekong river, something which i always wrote about for h2 geog hydro questions.
2. meng and i were attacked brutally by mozzies, damn.
3. durians were sold at like 70cents sing. thanks meng's aunt for feeding me LOL. i cant believe it i was being fed, lol.
4. tour was cool until we were confronted by our fear of dogs. i dont know, im not scared of all dogs, but those were freaky.
5. highlight of the tour: pearls, meng's mum, meng(did she run?) and me running around the table. i think i kicked a chair. i feel quite bad cause meng's mum got a blue-black on her leg and twisted her back. but it's still funny HAHAHAHAHA

CU CHI TUNNELS
1. gave all of us muscle ache. but i dont know why i feel like only meng and i are suffering haha. pearls and wanz can sit down with ease.
2. was pretty scary, cause the tunnels were kinda narrow and low. there was a bat in one tunnel.
3. we were all sweating and the total length of the tunnels was less than 50m? haha
4. but it ended with a massage so yeah, felt really good; other than the part where the whole weight of the person massaging me was on my back. gosh.

SHOPPING
1. we learnt the art of bargaining. but ultimately, it's the 'let's go' method which works best.
2. didnt buy much, sadly.

-if only we can take cabs in singapore like we do there, where cab fares are only 2 bucks.
-we see gayken everywhere and are always singing the same songs, ie invisible by clay aiken and change by daniel merriweather (we only know one line)
-eating pho and taking pho-tos
-doing stupid recordings and failing
-watching channel v every night and watching the same advertisements and listening to the same songs
-our alarm was 'mad world' by lambert and we'd always snooze it many times before we decide to wake up
-learnt to hate the song
-eating jackfruit and drinking lots of coconut juice
-speaking with dozens of accents and languages haha, okay not really
-always spending the bulk of our money on food, what's new
-what else huhhhhh, cant remember
-go check out pics on fb, uploading pics on blogger is a real chore

le thanh ton ben thanh dong khoi pho --- this means i am tired
