Good Morning Vietnam!

This are the exact words I wanted to scream out when the plane touched down. I am writing from Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, at Luan Vu Guesthouse, a little guesthouse where I am staying. Surprisingly they have excellent Internet service and SPEED!
Way much faster than what I have in my office LOL

Watching too much movies when I was a kid, when I came to see the word Vietnam, I will always remember the title 'Good Morning Vietnam!', made famous by Robin Williams, a comedy film from the 1987. Am looking forward to this whole trip. This would be my first time here and first time backpacking! Came here with my darling friend, Damaris. Both of us girls are just so crazy the moment we arrived here.

Upon checking in, we find this guesthouse quite lovely, quite decent for a small little house with only 10USD per night per pax. In the middle of the city, and walking distance to the famous Ben Than market, where we shopped till we drop! yeah its wrong to shop on the first day but heck we couldn't control ourselves. We reserved some for other days as well.

For lunch, we had this lovely beef balls noodles. Its not that I have not tasted Vietnam Beef Balls noodles before, but what we just had is really deliciois! Real tasty soup with fresh beansprouts, making it warm and nice just for our tummy. Way much different from the ones we ate in Malaysia. 

Just met up with Mr. Wong's friend, Ha Tri Throng. Sweet little lady :D
Anyhow, I should stop for now, as I need to shower since I caught in the rain while returning from the market. OH! Did I mentioned I was on a Trishaw? It was raining so we decided to take Trishaw from the Market back to the guesthouse. A real nice experience, which only cost us 2USD!

yeah pictures to be uploaded later :P
Stay tune for more! :P What I am having for dinner.. hm.. and also tomorrow's trip to Mekong River!

Hello to all from Saigon!
