I live my way (1)_Ho Chi Minh 2013_Day 1

This is a 10-months in advance booked trip.

5D4N (10-14 July 2013)

I changed $250 ( $ 1=RM 3.18) and then another$170 = 3.8 Mil dong( $1 = 21200/20800 dong )

4 persons with 4 luggages, 70k Dong ( 10k dong each person and luggages are 30 k ) 

Scary traffic.. overwhelming motorcyclists on the road

 Waiting to check in hotel- Hotel Gia Vien, along Pham Ngu Lao.
View room in my Day 2's post :D !

 Fruit juice blended. Everyday I had one :X .
They used fresh fruits blended with little water and ice. But you will be scared by the sugar they added.
Just drink it or go away.

1st street food, and then everyday I obsessed with it .

 banh mi = bread/baguette, it is totally different from what you could get from Malaysia.It is not hard, starchy but crunchy yet spongy inside.

 I only ate omelet which is freshly make upon ordering.

 Go Vietnam must drink their coffee. One of the recommended coffee shops, you can see it anywhere, Highland Coffee Shop. Pricy but worth trying.

 Ca Phe Sua Da - Coffee with milk ( sweet condensed milk basically )

As recommended by bloggers, we looked for tour agent for Mui Ne trip for the next day. The Sinh Tour. See the bus schedule as below.

street foods

 One of the recommended ice cream house. Try their coconut ice cream ( I'm not a big fan of coconut anyway).

Supper 10k Dong =X
