(Connection here isn't great!!)
The first day, we landed at Vietnam International Airport. To me, the airport is not very big compared to Singapore. The journey to the hostel is long, thus everyone had been sleeping throughout the journey with only one stop along the way. The crowd was small. Had Highland Coffee which is like Starbucks/Coffee Bean but a lot more cheaper. Finally, we had reached the hostel, which was surrounded by forest. There is nothing but grasses and trees around it. It is out of the city area. It looks quite scary from the outside. However, to my surprise, the lobby is beautiful. Luoyun and I got allocated to the last room, which is at the other end of the level. Rested awhile and off we go to Coop Mart for dinner and groceries shopping.
We had KFC for dinner. It was cheaper than Singapore and more choices. Eg: Chicken strips with rice which only cost 29.000 dong (~S$2.20) for a meal. They are more eco-friendly cause the utensils used are reusable.
One observation that I had is that, maybe the Vietnamese isn't really patient. At the road, you can keep hear honks every 10seconds. No kidding. What I experience is that, when I am ordering at KFC, one woman just keep on pushed me away and tries to say her own order. Ignoring the fact that I am there still having the person to take my order. Worst of all, not only one aunty but two. I seriously felt pissed off at that moment, however, I cannot do anything. Perhaps this is something common in Vietnam.
