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...

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...

Vietnam Trip Episode 5 - Saigon River Cruise

One of the famous tourist spot - The Saigon River

In summary, we are here to:

Take pictures! Of course...

Start with a very cute motor...

And the Cruise...




Makan

Very good idea. Instead of putting small ice cubes one by one, this one is half the size of a cup. One cube will just freeze your drinks in minutes. Did I mention that they put ice in urinals to remove the smell? =p

Actually the food was so so... Don't expect too much from a place pack with Ah Mohs...

A unsatisfy customer...

Nevermind, somebody is here to cheer you up with a magic show...

At least we had a great time enjoying the sceneries...
