Xin Chao! Toi Yuen Vietnam!

Xin chao! Two thumbs up to the vietnam trip! So basically..
Day 1! airport @7am
hoho, the 4 malay students
Had bieber fever in the plane. well for a while :b
When we reached hanoi, we headed to a temple/first university there. Started learning basic vietnamese and the legend on the fish turning into a dragon! To a market and walked in circles. And our first experience crossing the road! the traffic is great!!!
Checked in a hotel to wash up before the night train. lol what were we doing with beanies?
Night train to Lao Cai! (Y)
Day 2!
Hike Part 2. Hell. We carried our heavy bags. And mine was like 8kg? Or ++?! Shoulders were aching like mad. Black Mhongs followed us for the first part of the hike. And we ended up buying their stuff. Felt like being forced, but they helped us. So why not.. Oh, and i almost vomitted when one of them was so close to me. No offence x:
After lunch, another tribe followed us. Ignored them :p And daryl talked bout sanctum for countless of times! Reached homestay & planted rice! omg it was so fun stepping on, buffalo dung? I think? whatever it is, it was fun! during free time, played truth & dare. sharlene smelled her feet, xinrui sang & i danced >< the food was total yum yum n.n

Day 3!
Hike Part 2. Luckily we didnt have our big bags this time round. And the route wasnt so bad. Checkout our tribe sign! VVV
Butterflies mating ^^
It rained before we went down the slope. So the slope was darn slippery. But every one of us made it tru! :)
Happy tribe after conquering the death slope!
Walked to a beautiful waterfall too. And took a bus to sapa hotel! :)
Shopped @ Love Market. Uhuh its called a love market. where guys and girls meet and create love? trololol. As you can see in the photo below, the 4 of us camwhored at bat & lady's room. Xinrui & I abandoned our hotel room for the night but our bags were there. Lucky us, we werent caught :b Ate noodles and chips. Razors & needles were our good friends n.n
Day 4! Used the computer in asdira/waimun/sharlene's room and i was able to log in twitter yay! we had more shopping time too n.n we also went to the border of vietnam and china. oh gosh i cant recall what happened on day 4. But i definitely remember we took a night train back to hanoi. Asdira sacrificed to sleep with the teachers this time. so i shared a room with bat, sharlene & grace n.n

Day 5! Almost to the end hohohoh. bought accessories. god my memory sucks. i need photos to help me recall >< So we went to some place related to ho chi minh. After lunch, we had a session bout how to plan an event.
Oh and watched a water puppet show! which i feel asleep in the middle part of the show :b had a great sleep on my own bed this time n__n

Last Day! Time flew so fast ): we went to narnia, camwhored and shared ghost stories.
We gave tony a small gift too! Gosh he's the best guide ever!!!
The last group photo with tony at hanoi airport. Well too bad Das & Izat arent in this photo :b And i spent all my money!!!! 0 Dong in my wallet O: wtf mardiana!!!

Did i mention that the meal proportion there is bigger than in singapore? well thats what i experience la. lots and lots on dishes and rice! sometimes the teachers force us to eat up. wtc -.-

to sum it up, it was an awesome trip. i'll never forget the talks we had, the silly things we did, and the terrible pain we faced during the hike. i've grown closer to some of my friends and i've learnt alot from this trip. im so keeping the logbook for memory :') vietnam is da bomb! :)))
