Ho Chi Min, Vietnam

Ho Chi Min , Vietnam

Trip ke Vietnam ni actually dah lama iaitu pada tahun 2012..hehe..Terjumpa gambar lama during our honeymoon masa awal2 kahwin dulu..hikhik..kelakar je tngk muka sendiri masa ni. Dahla pipi kembang semangkuk..muka plak pucat sbb masa tu baru je habis kenduri kawin. Penat xhilang lagi suami angkut ke Vietnam pulak pada hari ke-2 selepas bersanding di Kelantan.Seriously trip ke Vietnam ni mmg kami tak explore langsung sbb dua2 kepenatan. Balik je dari Vietnam tu terus plak bersanding utk belah lelaki..memamg penat tahap gaban. Actually, kami pergi ke Ho Chi Minh naik Vietnam Airlines. Seriously, aku xberupa suka naik airlines tu sbb rase lain mcm je..dikelilingi org vietnam dan kami dua ketul je org malaysia dlm flight tu..hehe..and mkanan dlm flight tu pun kami tak mkan sbb keraguan halal tetap ada dlm kepala ni. Hubs kata halal..tapi dia sendiri pun xmkan..hehe..Satu benda yg paling aku suka semasa honeymoon ni ialah hotel yg kami menginap tu sangat best..bilik yang kami duduk tu lebih kurang macam apartment. Dalam satu apartment tu ada dua bilik tidur (master bedroom sngt besar dan selesa), dua bilik air (bilik air utama ada bath tub), ada dapur utk memasak (kelengkapan memasak pun disediakan) dan juga ruang tamu..so, kalau datang dgn 2-3 family sngt sesuai..Nama hotel yg kami menginap tu ialah Saigon View Residense, 117 Nguyen Cuu Van, Binh Thanh, Ho Chi Minh City. Harga pun berbaloi which is USD260 untuk 5 hari 4 malam..

bilik yang kami menginap..ni je ada dalam kamera..gambar bilik dan bilik air semua dah hilang

Kami pengantin baru waktu ni.hehe

Di restaurant halal di Ho Chi Minh

Kurus dan hensem sngt hubs waktu awal2 kawin ni..hehe

muka pucat sngt waktu ni.keluar hotel utk makan dan shopping utk sedara2 terdekat je

Kat Vietnam ni perkara yg paling best of course la shopping. Perempuan klau datang sini mesti jadi gila sbb kain2 cotton and vietnam silk sngt murah hokayyy. hehe..Bukan itu aje, kain pasang, kain telekung, souvenir dan kekacang murah bangat kt sini. Cuma yg xbest kat sini nk dptkan makanan halal senang cuma harganya SubhanaAllah mahal bagi aku. Kalau dtg berdua its ok la klau nk makan kat kedai tapi kalau yg dtg bwk family isteri, family suami, better cari apartment yg boleh masak mcm yg kami stay ni..bawak terus stock bahan2 masak mcm sardin, perencah nasi goreng, bee hoon goreng..kat Ho Chi Minh boleh juga guna duit malaysia semasa shopping..sebab kat sini berlambak org malaysia yg duduk sini buat bisnes.ada juga vietnamese yg fasih berbahasa Melayu sbb mereka bnyk deal dgn pelancong dr Malysia yg kebanyakannya dtg utk bercuti atau membeli stock kain2 utk bisnes di Malaysia.

Pengangkutan utama di  Ho Chi Minh ni motor.Berselirat motor especially kalau dekat traffc light.lebih kurang mcm kat Palembang je

apehal la mat saleh ni duduk di tgh2 jalan..huhu

Taxi Vietnam colour hijau

Di depan kedai souvenir di Ho Chi Min. Since kami bnyk beli souvenir kt kedai dia, baik hatila plak owner tu nk snap gmbr  kami berdua,,kami mmg suka la kan..hehe

Pretty lady kt belakang tu owner kedai ni..barang2 utk hiasan rumah kt kedai dia cantik2 dan murah compare kt kedai lain..

Kami pergi Vietnam masa tu early of Feb iaitu masa chinese new year..so, masa tu Ben Thanh Market (famous giler utk shopping) tutup selama 2 hari..hehe..kalau korang mesti sedih kan sbb dhla dtg jauh2, tutup plak..tempat shopping kain murah2 tu..hehe..tapi aku masa tu xde perasaan pun sbb fokus dtg utk honeymonn relax2 je bersama suami tercinta..Plus kami br je habis kenduri and fulus dh bnyk habis..waiitt.. lagi satu kenduri belah lelaki yg kami kena tempuh right after this honeymoon.So, kami kena berjimat2 cermat dan xboleh shopping sakan.haha..But, we were lucky that time sbb Ho Chi Minh ada buat event besar-besaran di dataran..Maybe sempena Chinese New Year and di dataran tu penuh dgn bunga2 bermacam2 colour dan jenis.lebih kurang mcm festival flower gitu..seronok beb..duit xhabis, hati pun berbunga2 je..hihi

Macam2 fresh flower ada..wangi2 je bau bunga2 kt sini

Perasan tak belakang tu ada building Maybank..

Nampak tak muka ku yg berbunga2 ceria tu..hehehe

Aauwmm..romantiknya kami masa ni..hehe

haha..xde tempat nk posing dh kan..latar belakang same je..

Honestly, Vietnam sngt best utk shopping especially di Ho Chi Minh. Barang2 sngt murah dan sesuai utk buat bisnes kain pasang, kain telekung, vietnam silk, kain cotton dan bnyk lagi. Orang cakap antara Vietnam dgn Bandung, Indonesia, Vietnam is the best place for shopping..I am  not sure sbb belum smpai lagi ke Bandung. Maybe one fine day boleh ajak hubs ke sana utk short vacation. One thing yg agak regret during our last trip ke Vietnam ialah tak sempat utk ke Chu Chi Tunnel dan Sg. Mekong sbb both places jauh dr Ho Chi Minh. So, i guess we should plan another trip to Vietnam..hehe..But, next time our route maybe to Hanoi and some other places in Vietnam. So, kat sini i list awal2 5 tourist attraction that we should GO and DO in Vietnam..So,we could plan our next vacation wisely and meaningful right..hehe

1) Nha Trang

Vietnam’s most popular seaside resort town located along the second most beautiful bays in the country. It features beautiful beaches with fine and clean sand and clear ocean water with mild temperatures. The city has about 300,000 inhabitants and is more lively and urban in character than other beach destinations like Mui Ne and Phu Quoc. It’s also the scuba diving center of Vietnam.

2) Mekong Delta

The Mekong Delta is the region in southern Vietnam where the Mekong River approaches and empties into the sea. It is a very rich and lush area, covered with rice fields, that produces about half of the total of Vietnam’s agricultural output. Subsequently, life in the Mekong Delta revolves much around the river, and all the villages are often accessible by river rather than by road.


3) Mui Ne

The formerly little-inhabited beach south of the fishing village of Mui Ne has seen some serious development in the last 15 years. Due to strong sea breezes it is a popular destination in Vietnam for kite- and windsurfing. No trip to Mui Ne is complete without a trip to the famous sand dunes located a short distance north of the town. The vast sandy expanse provide some great panoramic views especially during sunset.

4) Sa Pa Terraces

Sa Pa is a town in northwest Vietnam not far from the Chinese border. Rice terraces can be found in the Muong Hoa valley between Sa Pa town and the Fansipan Mountain, on a backdrop of thick bamboo woodlands. Local mountain people, the Hmong, Giay, Dao, Tay, and Giay, grow rice and corn on these paddy terraces, along with vegetables.

5) Ha Long Bay

Situated in north Vietnam round a 120 kilometer long coast line and is literally translated as “Bay of Descending Dragons”. The top tourist attraction in Vietnam, Ha Long Bay features thousands of islands, each topped with thick jungle vegetation, forming a spectacular seascape of limestone pillars. Several of the islands are hollow, with enormous caves, others islands include lakes and some support floating villages of fishermen
