Saigon is TOO HOT! I drank more than 5 cups of different kinds of water/juice today.
Tomorrow will be the trip to Nha Trang, which I expect very much. Wanna buy a pair of slipper, sit by the sea, have a little snap, enjoy the breeze.

In Nha Trang now. It's also very hot here, but when you got on the boat, the beautiful view will let you forgot about the heat, for a while at least.
We had a boat trip for 4 islands today, but I didn't swim due to my mistake.
Internet in Nha Trang is popular too, but there's no Chinese input here, either. Even no Chinese code on the website. So I cannot reply to you, coz I cannot read any Chinese. Sorry for that.
Tomorrow will be the walking tour and will go to next station Hoi An via the night bus.

It's quite hot here, Bill cannot believe that I can survive in such a hot day. He said Shanghai now was 30 degree or much higher, and he can only go out after the sunset.
I lied for several hours beside the beach this afternoon and didn't want to move a small pace. Now is better, a little bit cooler. I'm waiting for the night bus to Hoi An 1 hour later.
It's said that today is the Independence Day of Vietnam. There will be kind of celebration on the beach tonight. Unfortunately I'm afraid I will miss it.

I have to say that night bus is really uncomfortable, though the bus is clean and with A/C. After 1 hour's departure delay last night, it arrived in Hoi An this morning on time.
It's said that the hotels in the old town are fully booked due to May Day in Vietnam this weekend. So the open bus took us to a 2 stars hotel out side the old town. However, it has shuttle bus from the hotel to the old town anytime, it's free of course.
Suddently I found out that I always began my posts with the word HOT. Yes, it must always be the topic during my trip here. I seriously underestimated the sunshine today. I even didn't use any sunscream lotion. Now it's time to give you some COLOR TO SEE SEE... I got a very natual SHAI SHANG ZHUANG now, just like Faye Wong... A red line under the eyes and cross the nose...
I won't make the same mistake tomorrow.

Today is another tough day, it's the trip to My Son.
My Son are Champa ruins, very similar to Angkor Wat, Cambodia. But the size is much smaller and were seriously damaged by war. You must know what I'm going to say, yes, it's too hot walking in My Son without any shadow.
The boat trip back to hotel is intersting, we took some pictures at that time. We also went to the beach. It's also nice.

We went to the old town again to take some pictures, coz somebody suddently found that the pictures he took at the first day lost in his CF card...
Met a man in Hainan Huiguan, he is Chinese in Vietnam in Hoi An for several generations. He's so kind to introduce the building to us, show us his 3 hundred years old wooden house.
We took the bus this afternoon to Hue, and now we are here. Perfume River is just in front of me. The GH we lived this time has a big balcony and king size bed...
Tomorrow is the motobike trip around this old city. We'll take the night bus again tomorrow night from Hue, and arrive in the next morning to the last city Ha Noi, the capital of Vietnam.

We arrived in Ha Noi this morning ealier and spent only several hours walking in the old quarter and found nothing very special. However, finally we found "The Little Prince" in Veitnamese.
Watched "Water Puppet" this evening and it's interesting.
Will fly back to Saigon tomorrow afternoon. After that is 2 days tour to Mekong Delta.
Coming back soon... |
