Life in Vietnam

Today is my sixth days staying at Vietnam. Everything was good and smooth, i started to learn vietnamese language everyday as i have to speak otherwise i will have trouble in getting cheap food. I am living with a friend from Malaysia. We stay at the last floor of the shop terrace. I think vietnamese does not sleep on mattress cause i sleep on the floor now. When the 1st day i was at Huy house i saw his brother also sleep on the 'tikar'/mat. The second day i went to Cu Chi tunnel which located 70km aways from HCMC. This was amazing trip, i was inside the small tunnel and from the explanation by the tour guide, the tunnel was the house for Vietnamese during the vietnam war and US force was try to invaded Vietnam in anyway. I also knew the story about how vietnamese win the war. Vietnamese woman have strong characteristic from the pass until now as every woman/girl here know how to ride motorbike and is very common to see a girl riding motorbike here. The food is quite similar to chinese but some are very delicious.

The third day i had a city by Aiesecr Tung to the Reunification place and visited the french church, opera and walk around Benh Tham Market. At the night time, i was having a beer at the local pub name Ciao. The draft beer here is kinda cheaper than Malaysia even in a pub. A glass of Draft Tiger beer is around RM5++ which u cant get it in any pub in Malaysia but i drank it in the heart of of Ho chi Minh City, District 1.

At the fourth day, I attended a Farewell Party for an intern from Indonesia cause he is leaving but is the 1st time i met him. We have lunch at Benh Tham Market and have some activities in the park.

At the fifth i went to Mekong Delta river, wake up at 430am in the morning and took a bus Ben Xie station and then express bus to Mekong Delta. We ride boat and reach Huy house. His family was so nice and we ate lunch which everything about fish. After that we visit orchard farm and ate a lot of tropic fruits. At the evening we had boat ride to floating market and ended with porridge with chicken.
