The next morning, we woke up slightly earlier as we would be visiting the Cu Chi Tunnels on a half day tour. Stella’s mom had been doing a bit of walking around before we woke, so she found a nice place for breakfast that we would be going for the next few days.
A view once again of the rush hour traffic. Or perhaps I should say, the permanent traffic condition.
This will be the day that we’ll leave for HCM. Woke up early and headed for breakfast. Took some pictures of scenic Dalat before breakfast.
Woke up to the cool morning air of Dalat. Today, we would be having our one day tour of Dalat city. Here’s a glimpse of the beautiful view outside our hotel room.
So here begins my recount of our 7 day Vietnam trip. Vietnam is a place that one has to go to experience for oneself, much like how Hongkong was. Because of this, we didn’t take as many pictures as we did in Korea/Taiwan. To describe it as simply as possible in a few lines, the place has a combination of the rustic charm that one would experience in 70s Singapore, combined with a certain tenacity of the people that may arguably be said to have developed out of their war-torn history. While uncomfortable and chaotic at most times, after a while you realize that there is actually some order within that chaos, and I found myself slipping into the whole flow of the life there pretty easily.
We’re back from Vietnam after a 7 day journey of the area. More updates on the trip soon. Check this space.
Off to Vietnam for a couple of days with Stella. See you when I get back.
The rain tonight made it a lot more inviting to head down for a jog. Been trying to keep up with the exercise regieme so that I can finally get healthy again and lose a couple of inches. I think it would also prepare me for the physical strain that I will have to undergo getting around Vietnam in May.
So the next week will be the final one for class, and we’ve got 3 deadlines to meet. Bao’s essay, Kim’s squib thing, and a presentation on the final day. Once all that is over, it’ll just be the usual studying for exams and taking the exams. I think it’s reached a point where I’ve done too many exams to be nervous about it. Who knows? this might even be my last exam ever.
On a more geeky note, I’ve been thinking of miniatures gaming non stop. It’s almost become a daily obsession and I don’t know if it will go away, or if I want it to go away. Frankly for me, it’s more about painting than gaming, although I’m sure I’ll enjoy the game just as much too. While my game of choice is definitely Hordes, I do like the sight of a battalion sized army painted up, even if it stays on the shelf. Oh well. Constantly dreaming of painting a Lizardmen and an Eldar army.
Tickets have been booked, and it’s been confirmed. Will be off to Vietnam from the 11th to the 17th of May. Will be a very different trip for me, and it will definitely be an experience.
