Trip to the Land of the Rising Sun - part 1

Yes, here I come, Hokkaido and Tokyo!

I can't help but took a picture of the 10k Yen note before I use it up (you will regret if you don't use it ^^).

This note reminds me of the guy from Heroes and Red Alert 3.

and before we fly off to Japan

can't resist to take a photo of the tickets again... hehe

Vietnam Trip Episode 9 - ChuChi Tunnel part 1

ChuChi Tunnel is located 2hours to the North of Ho Chi Minh City, a place where Vietnamese use it for their home court advantage against the Americans. Sounds like we are there to 'cuci' the tunnel...

Jungle is the key to Vietnam War.

You can't imagine what lurks ahead, and what lurks underneath...

Tada! Its an escape hole. Vietnamese used to be small in size, so they created an escape hole to fit their size. Normal Americans will not be able to go through, not even present Malaysians who loves Char Koay Teow...

They actually modified the hole so that it is bigger for visitors to fit in and experience it.

My poor little cousin...

Yes, our economy is stable...

By the time you read this, KLCI already plunged to as low as 800pts. I was in Pavilion during Deepavali holiday, and had taken a few photo shots to show how bad the effect of the economy down turn.

JCo Donuts & Coffee. There are no queues! Wow! I can’t believe it. Shots were taken during lunch hour…


The newly opened Mr Baoz! Can’t believe they have to offer free tasting to woo customers. I tried 3 pieces and it taste like, well, baoz lor… didn’t buy it though…


And so on…


And so fort…


At least most of us still managed to spend some money on food court. Well, you have to spend at least RM10 for a ‘not so good’ meal. It’s Pavilion, mah…

So who is there to say that our economy is stable? It won’t be surprise if KLCI plunge a lot more till 200pts like what happened 10 years ago.

I guess in this time of economy down turn, Mr A wouldn't dare to challenge the PM post either… no no… not the right time…

Vietnam Trip Episode 8 - Mekong River part 2

Mekong Delta, a small village which produced local fruits and agricultural products. It was hot and humid all day round… I could have taken 5 showers in one day.

Surprisingly, it was quite cool under the roof.

We were treated with honey tea

And Fruits

Bargaining along the streets

Enjoy the song performance by the locals And end it with (another) boat ride back to where we came from.

I felt like in Venice...

The locals are pretty tough and strong… Imagine having to row a boat filled with burger kings and queens for 3 miles.

So we finally reached the sea, ummm… bigger river, sorry…

And having some more fun during the cruise, not wasting any time.

Welcome to the National Head Butting Competition. Whoever cracks the coconut with his/her head gets to drink the water.

Our first contestant... Ouch, that sure hurts!

2nd try! Now he's concentrating...

Finally!

2nd contestant! Owww... Cracked her head instead of the coconut!

Let's see how our defending champion can do!

No Sweat! She's our Winner!

This ends our Coconut Head Butting Competition, with a Closing Ceremony...

Vietnam Trip Episode 6 - Vietnam Coffee

Cruising was fun, but crossing the road in Ho Chi Minh City is even more fun!!!

Of course this amount of traffic is considered sap sap water lar. Tried crossing the big roads before and we are like screaming 'STOP STOP', 'RUN RUN', 'JUMP JUMP' (sorry I made it up).

Accident rate is consider very low in Vietnam. They are driving like 20, 30km/h, so no surprise here... If a motor hits one of my cousin the motor will rosak first, hehe...

So we finally had a chance to taste some Vietnam Coffee at a place called Trung Nguyen Coffee House.



And our judges are here to do some tasting...

And the reaction was...

Well, a picture = 1000 words... =_=

Some of us preferred puddings instead...

And cakes...

We enjoyed it, and we still want more...
