back from saigon
------

so everyone knew i went took some time off work and went for a holiday, to take tita bot and lin around, and to visit my friends in saigon. the fact that i had a lot of friends there, was reason enough for me to go. i actually felt really comfortable and happy to see them, i mean i know a lot has happened since they were all there, but it wasn't awkward at all. apart from the reason that we have all matured, i guess time is the key factor, to make things seem normal. ewan ko. these guys i know that i only want the best for them anyway.

right now, i will just post things that i loved, for the food, i will dedicate a separate posts for each of the restaurants i have tried.


obee picked us up at the airport, and we went to have breakfast at pho 2000. super touch ako kay obs, kasi 8am on a saturday yon, but in fairness, she still was there to pick us up and sinamahan to tour around, for the rest of our stay. i appreciate this a lot kasi mahirap naman talaga mag-entertain ng tao when you are damn busy.


fanny's ice cream, i had to go there. yun na.


after dinner drinks at MOJO, mojito for obee and me. met kate, paolo, and their 2 friends here. MOJO is somewhere in dong khoi.


artwork i really loved, but too bulky to purchase, so i got a smaller one but a different design. i was able to buy 2 cute wood figures and 1 eggshell art - to put up in my new home. goodluck to me.


halo halo ng vietnam, it had water chesnut, and i loved it. its a much better version of pinoy's halo halo.


obee and kate with my aunt and cousin outside the reunification palace. the place was closed because their ex-prime minister died and the burol was happening inside.


3 of 12 at war museum.


neon shoes pang gimik, i was telling them, the brands of the shoes were STABILLO. this was at li chin thang - they were selling original branded shoes (some are overruns, some are puslit from the factory.)


last monday morning, kate picked me up at my hotel and we sneaked in breakfast at HIGHLANDS.


kate and me, updating each other, since this was the only time where we could talk.


i got a massage for US$25, swedish massage at BELISSIMA, loved it.


rommel brought me to little manila, where they served pinoy food, which i craved for.


my order, chicken ala max and chopseuy.


tindera sa ben tanh market, the girl on the right didnt allow me to leave, i need to buy something daw, as in lin had to buy that bag so i can get out of the store. the other day, she keeps on touching me, and i really didnt want to be touched by people i dont know, so i told her.. "dont touch me".. natawa si tita bot and lin.


on the way back to sg, tita bot got this bag at ben tanh, and this is the new saigon international airport, kawawa naman ang NAIA, nakakahiya.

for food and shopping updates, ill post in the next few days. i have to work na.
