we took sleeper bus and gone to saigon heaven

Last week i went to Ho Chi Minh City with friends. we were planning this trip since seven months ago. HCMC or formerly called Saigon is an adorable city. It's clean, tidy and cheap. I enjoy the old city, food and Vietnamese coffee. Scrumptious!


Mui Ne. 5 hours from Saigon. The sea and the shore reminded me of the city where Ponyo live. You know, the latest movie from Hayao Miyazaki. Love it!


i'm happy with this photo. i took it from the taxi. never expected the result would be this good.


my friend, Hafiz, tried my new boyish-vietnamese-cap. oh his slanted eyes make him look vietnamese enough. the motorbike a little bit "out of place". but what can i say, motorbike is very identical with saigon.


this is a bit absurd. we went to white sand dune in mui ne. it's a beach but with lotus and grasses on its shore. and we found a horse inside it. something that you don't find everyday.


can not imagine how people could live with those electricity cables. it's a common image everywhere in the city.




scrumptious ice cream in Kem Bach Dang, one of the oldest restaurant in Saigon. if you happen to go there, you should try 'em. by the way, kem bach dang means coconut ice cream. but they have lots of options there, in case you don't like coconut.
