My Vietnam Trip @ 23 Oct to 26 Oct 2009

This was my first time visiting Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. Went there with Papa,mama,grandpa,grandma and Alicia gugu.Too bad Uncle robin cant join us as he was working and could not take leave.Actually Jiu Jiu supposed to be our tour guide to bring us around Saigon, but he last minute changed the schedule and returned back Taiwan for wedding preparation and arrangement. Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to attend his wedding next year Jan. Hehee.. By the time I should be able to walk, and I believe I will be the center of the attraction. (=^_^=)
We left home at 5.45am and took a very early flight (7.25am) to Ho Chi Minh City. As usual, MaMa fed me a bottle of milk when we on board, and i just fall asleep while the plane was taking off. Hahaa..



As i mentioned earlier, we were catching an early flight, so i was wearing my pink hello kitty pajamas until we reached our destination.



We were awaiting for Ah Gong's driver to pick us up from Airport to his factory. Meanwhile,grandma and grandpa were busy entertaining me.Haha..As the driver drove very slow, we took about 1.5hrs to reach hotel to check in.
Ah Gong's ex-staff who waited for us for nearly 1 hour.
BaBa forgot to take photo while we were having our buffet lunch at SongBe Golf Resort. The International buffet was delicious, especially when all of us were starving. Haha..It was so coincidence grandma's birthday falls on the same day we landed so the Buffet was a treat to her from Ah gong.We returned to hotel for a short rest before meeting Ah Gong and Ah Ma for dinner. The bolster looked familar? Yes, Don't be surprise. MaMa brought it along for me just to let me have a better sleep. ^^



Scenes of Ho Chi Minh City. Heavy traffic..



Motorcycles everywhere.Air pollution is very bad there.
Local Vietnam dishes. Taste good.











A short visit of the Presidential Palace.


Lets Go..Everybody takes turn to push me around in my pram.




















We spent day and night at Ben Thanh Market. Haha..
















Grandpa carried me around the market despite of the heat.It was very warm in there and i was sweating.Thanks grandpa!

My parents' friend (Uncle Uy) who moved and lived in Vietnam few years ago.


I met a new friend at ice cream cafe. She is 21 months old. We played rubber rocker together. Hehee..

We stayed in Ho Chi Minh for the last 2 nights. MaMa took one Hello Kitty piano from Jiu Jiu to keep me entertained and occupied.



The hotel we stayed is 3 star but really worth it. US$75 per night for a suite room with a big jacuzzi bath tub. ^^ Opposite our hotel,there is a small casino, BaBa, grandparents and GuGu went there to have a look and Grandpa won a bit by playing the jackpot machines.


Our last dinner in Saigon. We ate at the street stall. Food ~ so so.
