can i have more than 24 hours in a day?? sigh....
Coming back to my actual topic... i was assigned to Vietnam (16/6 till 19/6) which didn't make me happy mainly because i was going all by myself. I never liked going anywhere alone.. maybe too manja already... my bf was upset also but when work comes in ... you cant really say no right unless you want to lose the job.
It was a summit organized by IBM... and me as a marketing gal.. had to do my job but indeed i was happy because i did fulfill my main objective and definitely made Vikram happy. Meet a lot of potential clients and partners. This is going to make my job a little easier.....
Didn't have much time. to go around for site seeing.. but i took this chance to go shopping, got the traditional costume for myself (a red one)..will post the photo when i wear it... its still in the plastic.. no time to or rather to say no occasion to wear it. it was cheap (USD14)... went around for souvenir's.... for my mum and bf only...
Food was not an open choice for us as everything was served with pork.... no choice but to slow it down the throat... hotel food was evenly good but u cant always eat the hotel food...
another sad thing is.. i forgot my camera.... so no pics for this blog... (like i have for my other blogs) ;(
I went to the ChuChi Tunnel.... amazing tunnel.... it's so small that it was almost a size of a pint size 10 year old kid. Imagine... how small were people at that time. Its a hand dug tunnel. for almost 300km long and 3 layers underground. Wow... they even had a smokeless kitchen.... some innovative traps to kill the Americans... I had a chance to walk through the tunnel.... dark n scary men.... but it was a good experience that i had..... seems like i was there during the war. And the best part was the shooting range you get to try your hands on.. cool
(see the tunnel hole and this Poland dude is dam tall - meet him during the trip)
i will definetly visit Vietnam again to see the Mekong, Hanoi and etc... but with lots of mineral water and Maggi..... They do have Chinese food but its still cooked their style...
Another reminder.. beware of motorcycles when you're crossing the roads...... its scary ... no traffic lights but way less of accidents compared to Malaysia.
Good experience...... Cant wait to travel again......... But i hope i wont fall sick for a week... it was bad... glad i'm recovered now.
chow...till next time then
