So i tagged along the Tuesdates to their graduation trip 2015, en route to Ho Chi Minh!
Kinda clueless of what this city can provide us with, we went ahead to venture out (of course we did our part of research!)
Day One was roaming around this small city, Ben Thanh Market - Notre Dame Cathedral - Saigon Central Post Office - Night Markets.
Culture there is very different from Sg too, and needless to say, this goes the same for their traffic.
& the rule of thumb when crossing: JUST DO IT, if not you'll never make it across.
Cu Chi Tunnel was up for Day Two, where we experienced the life of the soldiers back when they were having war.
It was definitely an eye opener, especially the live firing & crawling through the tunnel.
After heading back the city, we visited one of the local cafe.
Speaking of which, HCM has so many cafes to offer! & i was so pleased to know that.
Meandering down the streams of Mekong, we were captivated by the scenery on Day Three, or maybe i was.
I'm always a sucker for nature like these, something we really will never get to experience nor see in Singapore.
Apart from the beautiful nature of HCM, did i mention their food was superb!
Be it cafes or street food, i love them all.
So on Day Four, Hans & i hopped 2 cafes in a row, in addition to having my favourite pho at Ben Thanh with the gang!
We paid a visit to their Saigon Zoo as well as the War Remnant Museum, where my heart goes out to the victims back then.
All the last min shopping & venturing was on Day Five, where we went out of our own district.
A pity we didn't get to visit Mui Ne this time round due to time constraint and if i'm coming back here, i'll be sure i'm going!
Thanks so much for the wonderful memories HCM, as well as the company who braved through everything with me, making sure i was okay and all.
For now, its back to reality ~
