Hiatus

Been away...to Ho Chi Minh City...

Hmm...what can I say about HCM...Honestly, didn't really like the trip...It was a boring city, not really a place for fashion...it was chaotic and not very pretty...and we had a baaad experience with a cab driver...Cab meter started at SGD$0.80 when we got on, $2+ when nearing the location...while fishing out for cash, the cab driver push a button on the meter and another zero popped out!!! That is, $20+ for the 5-min ride! Of course we tried to argue and refuse to pay...but what can we really do? 3 girls in a weird foreign city...I really don't want to be driven to somewhere isolated and get cut up into pieces...:P Well, we didn't pay $20...The brave one shouted angrily at the cab driver and bargained the fare down to $5...We threw the money at the driver and slammed the door when we stepped out of the cab...totally hate dishonest cheaters...

Mekong delta tour sort of saved the trip abit...with pony rides and a scenic tour on a small sampan...but on the whole, I would label it as a "once-in-a-lifetime" city, that is, I will not visit the place again...heh...;p
