Company Trip to HCM (12th to 14th Nov)

Finally manage to upload all the photos to my desktop and FB! 
I'm glad that the pictures turn out pretty good despite using a digicam instead of dslr, am really glad that i made the right choice and didn't bring along my dslr!

Its coming to year end and as usual there will be company trips every year. This year, we will be travelling to Vietnam, my very first time boarding a plane with my colleagues, feels good and safe being with them! :)

We were told to report at Terminal 2 at 8am sharp and almost everyone was there on time. 

A group picture before we set off :)



Yay! boarding the plane! :D



My room mate partner - Wendy!


After 2 hrs of flight, we finally reached our destination!
How i wished the flight was longer as i didn't manage to finish my show ;)

Hello Ho Chi Minh! :D


Our group was lead by their local tour guide and another tour guide from Singapore. The good thing travelling by tour is there will be a coach bringing you everywhere instead of taking public transport.

We were all amazed by the thousands of motorists on the road and were told by the tour guide that they need not have a license to ride a bike and a bike only cost USD 400. Damn cheap right? 

And all the vietnamese girls like to marry to foreigners. 



Our first stop was to lunch at Liberty Restaurant (Vietnamese Set) before we check in to our hotel since our check in time is 2pm.



Here's comes the food! :)







We transfer to our hotel right after lunch and we were so excited to head down to Ben Thanh Market!

Our 4 stars hotel (Golden Central Hotel)

Pretty good location and its just next to Ben Thanh Market and the best thing is there is free wifi!!!
Its a major need for me as i need to wadapp with my bf telling him how am i doing over there :*)



DONG Curreny notes!


After settle down for few minutes, we formed a small group ourselves and headed to the market.


Entrance to the market







You can find lots of good buys in the market like slippers, heels, dryfit running outfits, straw bags, fedoras, coffee, nuts etc at cheap prices. Remember to bargain if you happen to be there next time as they mark up the price like 3x to 4x. 

At around 630pm, we report to our hotel lobby for our buffet dinner on Deluxe Bonsai Cruise.
It's a luxury cruise on Saigon River with shows.

Taken with my HR Deputy Manager

















Dinner ended at about 11pm and we were dead beat by then. 
Fell asleep immediately after washing up and the next day is more to an excursion day! :D

Will blog about day 2 again!

Have a great mid-week!

Love,
Jamie
