回家

这一趟越南之旅很畅心。不只让我有空间喘口气,也让我能静下心来去想,去感受。

这一年走来好象不容易。好象酸甜苦辣我都尝尽了。看了很多, 也学了很多。

记得他曾说过我变了。我想是吧。
但我无法再回到那从前的纯真年华。
我只能往前走。

Vietnam Central Highlands

Ok we're now in Hue. Our final stop before making our way back to SG via the soft sleeper train. BTW, we tried all modes of transport possible already. haha. Motorbike, 55-seater buses, sleeper buses and trains. So the most comfortable is still the train! Yeah so for our final stretch, we've decided to tk the train. But unfortunately, also the most exp.

Yeah so central highlands was beautiful.It's like a collection of telly-tubby hills! hahahah..totally reminded me of our trg during 2005 SEA Games when we had to chiong up the nick-named bedok reservoir "hill". so the central highlands was filled with telly-tubby hills of different heights! The place is green! =) and the sky is lined with clouds dat looked like those in animations =) It was cool and sunny! It was really amazing how the people were able to construct the road (aka the ho chi minh trail) during the war time on such highlands.

It's Xmas eve! so advance merry xmas to all!

Leaving Hoi An

So yes, i cant access facebook. And am moving on to some mountain area in vietnam today. =)

To Mich: yes, i tailored a dress. It's kinda purple. =)Gonna collect it later due to some alterations. hopefully i can still fit into it by the time i get back to SG.

And I FINALLY had my "beach & magarita"! Actually it's not magarita, but tequila cos the cafe din offer magarita. I walked like 4km++++ to get to the Cua Dai Beach.haha. not sure of the actual distance but it was a nice walk..into the country-side. The beach was quiet. Always have dis liking towards Vietnamese beach. Less commercialised compared to the ones on Thailand.

It's another cold cold morning..and waiting to set off!

Hoi An ..Continued

Cos I cant log on to facebook, so here's some thing to follow up:-
To: Joesie, there's no free wireless so far. but we can access internet from the hotel's computers. A quiet and peaceful town, just for R & R =)

To: KT, according to the guide, HCM is sunny! =)

And I've just tailored some thing =) And made a pair of shoes! haha. it's quite cool how they tried to measure my feet. Too bad I forgot to take a picture of how they took my measurements.

So step one, I had to place my foot on a piece of paper. Then the lady drew the circumference of my foot. haha. Step 2, she measured the widest part of my foot. And lastly, measured the width of where my arch was.

The rain has cleared and the weather is cooling. but still considered cold for me.

Rainy Vietnam

So for the last few days which we are here, Vietnam has been cold and wet. but at least when our guide brought us to the "China Beach", the weather has been merciful. There were slight rays of sun light. =)
This morning in Hoi An is yet another rainy morning. Hopefully the weather will change for the better in the afternoon. Hoi an is a much quieter town, as compared to hanoi. Hanoi was terribly crowded and dusty (created by the random road constructions). It's so much more peaceful over here. no wonder an aussie couple we met during our Halang Bay tour was able to stay here up to 6 days!
The internet over here at dis hotel does not allow guests to use facebook. so im left with blogging as an option! =)
Im waiting for my hot vietnamese coffee to come by ..=)

My dad in my car

I alwayz find it funny how my dad sits in my car. He alwaz look uncomfortable..like dunno where to place his hands. Some times, he'll juz be grabbing by the side of the seat.

Ok i might be a dangerous driver some times. But I think the reason in cos he's so used to his bike dat he doesnt noe where to place his hands. =)
