Day 2!!!
Day 2!!!!
^_^ Top Tip/Advice for anyone planning to visit Vietnam! When crossing the streets… don’t run/walk faster as your instinct will drive you to do! Instead, walk in a slow and steady pace, the motorbikes will evade you!... P.S. this doesn’t work for HUGE transport lorries >_<SO!!! Yesterday I was shocked by the sheer amount of motorbikes in Vietnam!! Well today…. I’m shocked by the sheer numbers of people getting married!!!
Must have seen in excess of 15 couples today!!! >_< some of them are really cute together!! ^_^ oh! Visited a very modern palace today! It was definitely not what I had expected!!! Was still pretty grand and royal though… and it’s the only palace I’ve been too with its own theatre!!! Genius!!! xD
hmm also went across the river to the poorer side of Saigon…
things there were pretty different and rough.... but it was a really good experience! People on that side where generally a lot more friendly! ^_^ meet a lot of cool and cute kids too!!
Anyways didn’t really do much today.. Explored a little again.. and booked a day trip to the Mekong Delta for tomorrow!! (Have to wake up at 6am!! So this blog is going to be short….er…. xD)
hmmm also discovered this awesome bar which I’m in right now…. Proper live band with classic music and singing!! ^_^ the drinks are pretty cheap too! And free wi-fi!! xD it surely put a smile on my dad’s face after the internet “debate” yesterday with the hotel staff ^_^
staying on the topic of discovery.. also (accidentally) discovered this very local viet seafood restaurant!! The good was REALLY good!!! And the waiters where soo enthusiastic!!
Hehe due to the language barrier…. we had a really fun time ordering!! (turns out the stuff we had was not what we had in mind.. but A LOT better!!!)
anyways im sitting in that bar again.. the music is really good!!! will post pictures of it later ^_^
oh!! and today is the First day in a long while where I've had 3 full meals!!! ^_^ feel so fat now!!
hmm final note… I noticed something today… the camera is such a wonderful tool! Not only does it capture moments of your life which will keep with it a vast amount of memories….. but it is also an incredible joy bringer! Whenever I point my camera at random people (expecially kids) they suddenly lighten up and great me with a warm smile or the odd “V” sign! ^^ really does put a warm feeling in your heart….
