Christmas in Vietnam

I can feel the Christmas spirit already in Blogspere nowadays! It is another month away from Christmas (almost!) but everybody is busy putting Christmas pictures on their blogs! So figured since I'm in Vietnam, I should do the same too..

Here are some pictures i took while walking in town today.. Some are pretty cute..! =)

Snow man all having 'tortured' expressions. Wonder why?

Dun take away me pressies! >.<

Tree of lights! Beautiful..



Took this while I was on the escalator! Hehe.. Nice dresses!

One thing I have to mention also is the coffee in Vietnam. For all coffee lovers out there.. all over the world.. There's another country now that serves delicious coffee.. Not Italy, or Africa but yup.. In Vietnam.

I'm here to present u with...

Highlands Coffee!!!

Not sure why its called Highlands. It makes you high when you drink it!

The sweet aroma of...

Coffee Beans! Weird colour though..

Nope.. its not San Francisco Coffee house, or Coffee Bean or Starbucks.. Its Vietnam's very own homemade Highlands Coffee!!!

I was skeptical of it at first when i heard my mum said it was the best coffee in the world.. But coming from an ardent coffee lover herself, it was quite a statement coming from her! It muz be something.. i thought!

Mummy playing! =.=

And I was right!

They served very little though.. The glass came and it was filled to the brim with ice! And the coffee was only half-filled! Ice black coffee was the best though.. i tried the one with milk and i didn't really like it. Maybe i personally don't like coffee with milk.

The atmosphere was cosy and comfy too.. With plush sofas and dim lighting. Beat that Starbucks! =)

I like the lights the best!

Since I am going off tomorrow, I'm gonna post the few remaining pictures i took of Ho Chi Minh City.. ^.^

They have quite beautfiful parks over there..



This is just a small margin of the amount of motorbikes over here! They an abundance!!!



Took this when I was in the taxi! Rush hour!

They're all kinds of transportations over here.. There is the 'motorbike' taxi..

Enjoying life..

And the age old trishaw puller...

Waiting.. Waiting.. and Waiting...

They kinda scary.. Once they see you walking past them.. they'll come and pester you to sit on their 'vehicle'!!! >.<

So just put on a stern face and shake your head!

There are a lot of peddlers too.. Ranging from old woman selling drinks to young girls selling postcards! Its quite heart breaking too sometimes seeing an old frail lady carrying heavy boxes of can drinks. You can also easily spot middle age women sitting by the side of the road sitting on a small stool selling noodles. They'll have a pot beside them and a few bowls. That's their business! Din take any pictures though.. =(

This guy was quite cute! Hehe.. He looked straight into my camera!

Took these from my hotel room balcony!

Congested bustling city of Vietnam!

I love the tall tall trees the best!



Wont they topple down? Was my mum's main concern!

And one more thing.. Can someone please explain to me why there isn't any CATS in the city? Not even a single one. Is it just me imagining it or is there NO cats in Vietnam? What happen to all of them???

There's something fishy going on here..

Mystery... Kinda scary too...

All in all I kinda enjoy my trip over here. Especially since i started blogging, i see everything in a different perspective now.. Always thinking..

'Will these look good in my blog?'

I admit my photographing skills are not up to standard yet.. but hey.. the important thing is i had fun right!!! =)

Malaysia.. here i come!!!
