Day 3 - Cruise Dinner

Dinner Cruise
My cruise dinner sucks. The entertainment sucks, the food just bearable. They keep passing the microphone to that particular crowd, hoping to get lots of tips i guess. They keep singing these Hokkien song which i totally cant understand!
Also they had cheap dancer coming to perform almost the same thing over and over. She cant even dance properly..
Can see i really hate it from all the pics i took was ourselves..
Or maybe it's just cuz my travel agent book the bad cruise..

Ho Chi Minh Vietnam Day 2

We ate at this Pho24 today. Not as nice as yesterday's and costs 10,000vnd more. And the beef rice i ordered, not nice at all..
Did our nails and had massage today. Cheap! Manicure + nail coloring at 3usd, if no coloring at 2usd.
Foot massage for an hour is 9usd & full body oil massage at 10usd.
Think you could get this price anywhere.. if they won't give it to you, leave.. there are plenty of choices
Dinner at Ton That Thiep later today.
Went to the top floor for this 3T Vietnam Barbeque restaurant. Nice environment nice food! Do visit if time allows..
Been wanting to drink Sarsi since day 1. I thought they had a different spelling for it here, "Sa Xi" or whatever. Ordered it, regretted it, worst drink i had, never again.
Also, today i realized that i need to google for "how to get rid of bubbles".....

War Museum Vietnam

So we went to the War Museum today. It's around Nguyen Dinh Chieu.
Worth a visit! Lots of interesting history to learn..
And I'm serious, interesting history, also scary and teaches us not to do anything like this! Forever!
It tells us what they used to torture the Vietnamese during war, the things and ways they torture them. Extremely horrifying!
Also, i got a new ride :)
In fact, we all did! Haha
Its around RM2+ for entrance. I'm not sure if it's cuz of a Sunday, at 12pm they told us they're closing and chasing us out...
But definitely shoud visit!

Day 3 - Cu Chi Tunnel Vietnam

Cu Chi Tunnel
Around 1 1/2 hours from Saigon. It's a place where you'll see how Cu Chi town people live and what they've been through during war.
You'll get to see the traps they set for the enemy and how and where they lead their lives. The tunnel is merely 3 feet high or so.. and then experience how they walk through the tunnel
The inside of the tunnel is clean and dry. Could wear shorts to go if you're not clumsy.
There's also a shooting range. They have AK14, M60, M16 and others.. price ranging from 30k-40k per bullet.
I forgot how much is the entrance but its not much and worth it.

Ho Chi Minh Vietnam

It's my first day here!
Unfortunately, it's hotter here than in KL and we're sweating like crazy !
Bright side, although we're sweaty, sticky and tired on the first day, this place is really ok!
Just the first day and we already bought so much cuz some of the things here are really cheap!
Gotta go to Cho Ben Thanh or the Ben Thanh market.
Or you could get your tailor made suits at the shops behind Ben Thanh market, we found one that is quite reasonable at 90usd for a set.
BUT you really gotta sharpen up your bargaining skills first..
And, we had beef noodle today, with all the spare parts that is, but i don't eat that so its not in my bowl LOL.
I was told that locals eat this for 30,000vnd, but tourists gotta pay 45,000 - 50,000vnd
And, my hotel is just so nice! Had one of the nicest bath in the hotel yet!
Its a jacuzzi + bubble + steam bath!
