Backpack to Vietnam - Saigon



Ok, so here is the plan....

If my NS enlistement is in April (which i hope not).

I will work from January to Mid-March, and hopefully by then,

i will have saved enough money to buy me a ticket to Vietnam.

Why Vietnam you ask?

Because i'm fascinated by this country.

*

Been reading up alot about the Viet War,

Which simply dumbfounds me everytime

*

I went there in 2000 for a school CIP program

and have always wanted to go back there.

=)

That place, though a bit backward,

is rather tourist friendly,

not to mention possessing a very attractive conversion rate as well.

*

Sites that i will like to visit again are places like :

The Cuchi tunnels :

This complex underground labyrinth that the Vietcong

built during the French resistence,

which was subsequently used during the Viet war.

It is a very interesting place that i went to....

and i will like to go back there again.

The War Remanants Meuseum

This i didn't get to go because it wasn't in the itinery.

=)

Been surfing the net more about it.

A very interesting place to go.

Wait, it is a ~ Must ~ go.

Haha.

Mekong/Saigon River

Once at night, this place is tranformed into

a pseudo-Boat Quay..with all the floating pubs and extensive nightlife

It is one place i cannot miss. =)

Do not plan to travel up north to Hanoi though

because i'm not well acquainted with that place.

Moreover, i dun think my finances can support it.

Saigon will do just fine. =)

For the time being

*

Oh wells, plans are tentative, it really depends whether

firstly, my enlistment date is in april.

secondly, finance. I do not want to get stuck in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City)

Thirdly, whether do i have the guts to go or not.

Haha. But i guess that will be easy to settle.

Friends are free to join...=) so if you are interested,

you can always tell me.

*

Hopefully, i'll be able to go. =)

It will be one hell of an experience!

*

In the words of a very famous greeting during the Vietnam War

Goooooooood morning Viernam!
