Ho Chi Minh Trip

Below are the photos taken during my trip to Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam.

View of Ho Chi Minh city from the plane, just before landed. See how densed the city is...

View of the Tan Son Nhat international airport. Not so big, yet not so small. Just nice.

Just landed. Waiting for other people to arrive. They were from Singapore, Bangkok and Jakarta. Beg besar tu, masa pergi kosong. Tapi waktu balik, penuh dgn barang!

Ni lah dia DTZ Vietnam. Very cozy office. Baru je bukak bulan June lepas. Sebab tu kami buat conference kat sini. To give them support and share experience.

Common sight in Ho Chi Minh city. Wire2 letrik/talipon yg berselirat.

Pada malam pertama kat sana, kami dijamu atas kapal cruise. Bawah ni gambar some of the DTZ big bosses yg dtg conference.

Ni lah rupa kapal yg kami naik.


Lepas dinner, lebih kurang pukul 8.30pm, kapal tu akan bergerak along the river. These are some of the sceneries seen from the boat.

The rest of the congregation ...


Another view from the boat.


This is how the serviced apartment where we stayed in look like. Nama dia Somerset Ho Chi Minh. Tak lah mahal sgt. US$120 per night. So bagi 3 orang = US$40 per person. Dia ada 3 bilik. Kalau duduk ramai2 lagi jimat.



Ambo punya conference lasts for 3 days. Start hari Selasa, habis hari Khamis. Pada hari Jumaat, bos Imah ajak pi jalan-jalan ke Mekong Delta (Cai Be). Kami pergi naik bas. Jauhnya lebih kurang 2.5 jam dari HCM city. Dalam perjalanan, banyak sawah2 padi macam bwh ni.

Bila sampai kat Mekong Delta, kami naik bot macam bwh ni - pi river cruise.


Floating market.


Di salah satu persinggahan tepi sungai. Tengok orang kampung buat gula2 dari kelapa.


Orang jual air atas bot.

Tgk orang buat rice krispies ni.. Apa nama benda alah ni? Lupa plak. Masa kecik2 dulu mak tok selalu belikan drpd pakcik van kat Tmn Istimewa dulu.


Ambo bergambar depan bot.


At one point, kami kena turun dari bot besar dan diberi peluang naik sampan kecik ni. Dia tak bagi life vest, tapi bagi topi.


Budak2 kampung mandi sungai.

Lepas tu kami naik bot besar balik. Masa lunch, kami mkn kat restoran ni. Mkn ikan goreng gulung dalam rice paper. Yuck! Tak sedap langsung! Yg bwh ni bos Imah.


Kat Ho Chi Minh city ada byk motosikal. Nak lintas jln pun susah dan mengerikan..


Bwh ni gambar Ben Thanh market. The famous shopping destination for tourists. Macam - macam ada!!


The city's post office.

Dalam post office...



Notre Dame cathedral. Masa tgh jalan2 kat bdr dia, Imah nampak ada pengantin bergambar.
