Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Me and twin, we took a weekend off and went to HCMC for "coffee".. well, that was the original objective.. until we got lost in bundles of beautiful scarves - duck, ariani, telekung SK etc.

Let me list down few tips from our trip:

1. From airport, can take taxi (Vinasun or Malinh), cost VND120,000 ~ RM24
Can take bus also, but i didn't check the price. You can see a short bus waiting outside the little airport.

2. Along Malaysia street, and in Ben Thanh market, RM is accepted. And in fact, cheaper rate using our money. So pls bring RM next time.

3. People here speak Malay language mostly. Even the little children selling souvenirs by the roadside

4. Never trust the trishaw man. He told us one trip cost "15 thousand".. but ehrn we arrived Saigon Mall (from Ben Thanh), he forced us to pay VND1,500,000!!!

5. Halal restaurant are easy to find, especially along Malaysia street.

That's all i can think of right now. I'll add if i came across more tips.

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

I was supposed to fly to HCMC yesterday,.. Together with k Sue and Farah Loubna. Bought the Airasia free ticket promotion for RM411 for three pax, return!! Super cheap.

I've booked also Blessing 1 Saigon hotel right in the smack of HCMC center I.e 50m from Benh Thanh Market. Paid USD65 for two nights. Room is suitable for two person as it is quite small. But very convenient.

There are several makan place.. Halal beef noodle that I crave for.. Yummy...!!

But all of all... I have to rest. Gave up the awaited trip that I've planned months ago due to my sickness. Deep inside, I know Allah have better plan for me InsyaAllah.

Semoga sembuh sepenuhnya sebelum fly ke Budapest next week.

Ya Allah,. Permudahkan lah Jalan bagiku.

Amin ya rabbb..
