INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS STUDY MISSION 2009 VIETNAM
Part 4
Day 5
Day 5
We arrived in HCMC in the evening after our screwed up flights in Hanoi. There's some problem with their system and we had to divide into 2 different flights to HCMC. We were super excited when we reach the hotel, because it looks much more posh then the one we stayed in Hanoi!
Josephine and I were especially excited because we prayed that this time round, our room will be much MUCH bigger. Hahaha, and yes! Our suite is AWESOME! Finally we got a bathtub.

I still remember Josephine's luggage almost jam the only lift in the hotel. Hahaha! Damn funny trying to drag the wheels out of the lift. Afterwhich, we thought our room was 704, but it turns out to be 705 instead! Hahaha, the both of us are damn blur!
TAN HAI LONG HOTEL.
Next time go HCMC must stay at this hotel. Its near the city centre and their laundry smells super nice! Like baby powder y'know! :D

The view from the hotel's restaurant!
DAMN NICE RIGHT.
So Day 5 and 6 were supposedly our R&R days, but we still gotta wake up damn early in the morning! How i wish we can really sleep more. Every night when i reach our hotel room, i swea i can fall asleep in 15mins! Agenda for the day:
Mekong River
Tasting their local fruits (which is nothing special because we taste them everyday!)
Visit to their coconut candy island
Shopping!
Eggcited about the boat ride on Mekong River!The water's super brown like Teh-C leh. That's like our little joke in the group. Hah.
During our lunch, we met Falo the Baffalo.
Josephine keep staring at him while eating which is damn funny!
There are dogs there.
And Lynette's scared of anything with more than 2 legs.
There are also lizards.
And Xinying has some lizardphobia going on.
Hahaha. Lunch was damn funnyyyyy!
Trying to lick his ass. Walau eh. We saw the dogs humping each other when we were about to leave man.
Mega fish!Which is awesome as popiah.
Oh, and we carried snakes too.I didnt know Clarence appeals to snakes as well. I thought its only to Vietnam women. Apparently i was wrong. Hahaha!
Xinying like act brave only! Haha, for the sake of a good photo she can do anything right!
I think i was one of the calmest. Actually not that scary lah, except this part when the snake's head is coming towards me. Hah.
We tried their local honey lemon tea.Not very nice actually. Its too sour. And fuck, there's bees!
Their local tropical fruits tasting session.I think all of us can at least guess 2 types of fruits that they will serve us during dinner everyday. Power anot. That's how much we had seen these fruits around.
We took a Sampan ride too.Wah wah this is like the best part!
The lighting's so good that our faces looked like its literally GLOWING.
I'm not kidding! Its super good.
Wearing the samsui-women hats.
SEE! GLOWING LEH. OMG.Anyway, halfway through the journey i realised we could actually row the sampan too. So i tried and urgh.... hahaha! Accidently splash some teh-c onto Josephine and Lynette.
This photo is damn cute. .jpg)
The group of us on the bigger boat after the sampan ride to the coconut island!Halfway through we thought we saw a crocodile! But turns out to be a piece of harmless floating log.
Hahaha.
Dinner.
After dinner, we decided the night's still young, so some of us went for massages while others went for shopping.
One small group of us decided to go to the ice cream shop our tourguide recommanded. :D
We ordered a wide variety to try. Lynette was super cute when she's taking this photo of the ice creams.
"Okay together ah.. 1...2...3.."
Like the ice cream will react to that. Hahaha!
We went shopping, and we bought group tees for everyone for Day 6! ahaha, so cool lah! All of us wearing Vietnam's flag shirt. :D
Lynette's and Edwin's bargaining skills are damn zai and funny. It was damn fun shopping there!
"Give me your maximum maximum!"
"We tomorrow flying back already! We students no money no money!"
Lots of laughter and fun. Hahaha. Our oreo challenge still hadnt come true eh.

(with alot of added expressions)
"There light fire also 70,000!"
"There light fire also 70,000!"
Headed back to the hotel after shopping and headed out to their local mart to buy snacks for the journal-session later on in our room.
We have to write daily journals entries about the company visits everyday, and the dateline's on Day 6. Writing together as a group is awesome yo!

Lots of laughter and fun. Hahaha. Our oreo challenge still hadnt come true eh.Cup noodles session in our hotel room!
I think i'm the earliest to fall asleep while the rest continued into the night. Hahaha.
So that marks the end of Day 5.
Its the twin's birthdays and our last day in Hanoi!
Our tourguide, Canh, planned a sweet surprise celebration for them during our farewell lunch.
As its our last day in Hanoi, we had to say goodbye to our tourguide Canh. Xinying sang a chinese song to him, and nearly teared.
Hahahaha!
And he said, "I cant talk right now.. because i very emotion! Very emotion, so i rather not speak now. Thank you very much!"
Walau. Cannot take it. Hahaha, too funny already lah! EmotionAL becomes emotion. Haha!
Josephine imitating the way he talks. Haha!
He took us to the jailhouse where Vietnamese were locked up during the war with France.
The prisoner's outfits in the past.
They used this bottle to sexually abuse women prisoners y'know!
Like wtf. They stuff this thing into women's vaginas to torture them!
After the visit to the prison, we headed over to Standard Chartered.
The person who handled our questions was very precise and we were done with the Q&A in less than 30 minutes man. We headed down to Hanoi International Airport during the evening. Its kinda strange, knowing that we had landed in the same place 4 days ago, not knowing everyone in the group and now we are heading down to HCMC.
Flights were screwed up and we waited like gazillion years waiting for our turns to check in our luggages. When we did, a few of us had to take another flight to HCMC because of insufficient seats. ):
Reached HCMC around 7 and dead tired.
