Music: One More Night by Maroon 5
Malam ni aktiviti bebas telah berlansung as my dad, siblings and I went window-shopping at the mall. and we had our delicious dinner which were seafood takoyaki. I bought new casing for my samsung S2. Yess!And not to mention, I also bought cute-spider-earrings. Adakah semangat Sapphire mula menular?
Recently, to be exact, last week, I went to Vietnam together with Abah, Umi, Abangman and Kakyong family. It was kind of random pon sebenarnya, because one day, my abah asked, "Fa, nak gi Vietnam?" and my answer was, "Bulih jah." And we went there for 4 days, we departed from Malaysia on 29th Nov. The journey on the flight was quite kejap jer. After 2 hours journey, we arrived at Saigon International Airport. Now they called Saigon as Ho Chi Minh city. There was a tourist guide who is a local Vietnam guy already waiting for us outside the airport. We went there under the management from Al-Qudd travel agent, together with my family, there were 42 people from Malaysia altogether. So, it was kinda fun and chaotic!

Perjalanan ke hotel was quite fun. I do not missed to watch the scenery of Vietnam throughout the bus window. If you haven't been yet to Vietnam, this is one of the info that I would like to share. The majority of the people there chose motorcycles as their main transportation. You will hardly see any car on the road whilst the number of motorcycles were enormous!
So, we checked-in at Hoang Gia Huy Hotel. The hotel was rated 3 stars but I think it was splendid and beautiful! On the first day, we went to a historical place named Chu Chii Tunnel. I didn't quite remember the sequence of the history but it was built during the war between Vietnam and US. The tunnel was the shelter and hiding spot for the vietnamese. We were having lunch at Restaurant Sri Penang which prepared halal-Malaysian cuisines. Our tourist guide name is Alex. He said, the restaurant before was chose as the one of the halal restaurant in Rasa Halal Vietnam hosted by Farah Anuar. The meals were delicious like seriously sodapp! At night, we walked to the night market which was not far from our hotel. Surveying items and prices as there were lots of the same things sold at different places. Therefore, we have to be smart. My brother and I learnt quickly about the rate and currency, because most of the time we probably will use the local money and US dollar.

| Jln masuk ke Chu chii Tunnel. Kecik giler lubang tuu. Askar tu bajet cute. Huh. |

| Rasa halal Vietnam! Yum! |
On the second day, we went to Muslim Village. The Village was quite isolated and small. There was a small mosque in the middle of the village for the muslims to solat berjemaah and the children to belajar mengaji. Alang-alang dah pergi Muslim Village, we dropped by at a house selling loads of handmade-telekung and baju kurung. The telekung was very pretty, I bought one for myself and 2 pasang baju kurung. Hehehe... For the telekung to be only RM 50 each, it considered as very cheap.

The fun was added to the trip as we were taken taken to Mekong River to enjoy a speed-boat ride and sampan ride. I enjoyed watching scenic view along the river. Weolls kemudiannya singgah di pulau across the main land. There, we were able to watch the local people processing coconut candy. My eyes caught a glimpse of a beautiful shoulder bag! Only 10 USD, I quickly grabbed two bags for my sister and I. Sooo baik of me. =P Then we singgah dekat kedai-kampung-style-looked, to enjoy our honey-tea and they even have performance. It was very lucuuu to hear they sang traditional malay songs for us, they sounded like melayu-siam. But nice effort weh! The joy was felt again when I had a chance to enjoy sampan ride by local people. They were so poor that most of the villagers earned money by mendayung sampan for the tourist saban hari. Some of them were pretty ladies and strong men. If they want, they can become actors or actresses. We tipped them by 30000 Viet Dong.

Then again, the night market and the pasar-liked market that I forgot the name. They were sorgaa for tourists who adore shopping. My mom was included. Basically, we bought souvenirs for our family and friends back in Malaysia. My mom bought kain-sutera Vietnam, hand-made shoes and t-shirts. What I bought? Hehehe,,, I bought for myself a pair of converse shoes after bargaining, sold by only 12 USD! Other than that, keychains, girly-hat (mengada gila) and hard-rock cafe t-shirt. Sumpah klu pandai bargaining, memang dapat lowest price lahh! Weolls balik on 2nd Dec.

| Hah, ni dia tempat I shopping. |
There lots of pretty clothes there. Winter-wear pon murah, there was a place called Russian Mall. My brother bought leather wallet there. So, sesapa nak shopping bagai nak rak, pegi laa Vietnam! Korang mesti lebih baggage nyer weight kat airport. Haha~
Conclusion, pegi Vietnam best! Lagi best sebab pegi dengan family. I was blessed. I am a happy kid. Alhamdulillah. Kuddos
