26th of September 2012, my Mom, Imah and Me went to Ho Chi Minh City(previously known as Saigon)
The flite took about 2 hours to reach HCMC's airport. We bought Bukhara Chicken Briyani(pre-booked) and it was ok-ish. It was raining that day. And the ride kinda bumpy. Felt like riding a roller-coaster(I love roller coaster!)
During our stays in Ho Chi Minh City(lets just call Saigon after this shall we? HCMC is just too long), we have quite a few incidents with the taxi. I'm going to make a post just on that. Later. For now, let's just go tru what we've done on the 1st day, yes?
So, we checked-in to our hotel. The hotel was good. The room was okay(love the bath tub!). Service was great, tho it's a bit hard to understand what the staffs are trying to say(english). We even asked them to book the water puppet ticket for us. Wi-Fi connection was okay. The only thing that was a bit unfortunate for us was the location of that hotel. It's quite far from the District 1(where most of the attractions are). But near to the airport.
After a little bit of much needed rest, we went to District 3 to watch the Dragon Water Puppet Show. We were actually quite a bit excited to see this as this was mention in the internet(Blogs/TripAdvisor) as a must see. Well, we were excited for about 10 Minutes at the beginning of the show.And then, it gradually becoming a bit of a bore. Still, I think it was worth to watch. The ticket was expensive tho(VND 150,000 ~ RM 22(more or less)).
Back to hotel! And Sleep !!
