Setelah berfikir-fikir, gambar pun byk yang hilang, jadi lebih baik semua travel log di tulis di sini utk rujukan traveller lain juga sbg travel journal peribadi saya..
Kami ke HCM City, Vietnam pada Ogos 2017. Air Asia Promo Ticket lebih kurang RM280 return ticket , tidak termasuk meal & extra luggage balik nnt.. Total up lebih kurang RM 330/pax
Ho Chi Minh City / Saigon form Skydeck View
Sate Gemuk2 & sedapp!
chicken lasagna, satay @ nasi bukhara chicken
better pre-book the meals dari beli on board sbb more cheaper..
sampai - sampai airport terus beli simcard, have to register . Kalau tak silap around 250,000 VND
Kami pergi ber empat -all girls. Personally saya sukakan scenery HCM city, cantik & greeny. banyak pokok-pokok besar sepanjang jalan..bandar yg agak bersih. walaupun jalan raya nye penuh sesakk, tapi kadar jammed lama tu tak de..moving je. & everyone is alert dgn bising hon agaknya..
the city is surrounded with trees..hijau , redup -sejuk walau cuaca panas
jalan kaki around the city..sgt byk cafe yg cntik, cosy & unik...like seriously the exterior design WAS awesome!
Along the city mmg byk historical architecture zaman pemerintahan Perancis
Pokok-pokok besar tu di tanam sejak zaman Perancis lagi. Pokok-pokok di sana dijaga rapi & sistem perparitan di sana pun sgt sistematik sesuai dgn lanscape pokok-pokok besar .
Taman/Park depan Independance Palace
very BIG Trees kan?
Kami tak gunakan travel agent pun. we just do the reading & research through web browsing & tanya-tnya member yang dh pernah pergi.
our transportation mode di sana was by taxi - Vinasun & berjalan kaki. we love walking because easy to explore & stop by.
our main transportation - taxi Vinasun.
they use meter reading ..most of the driver tak faham english nor malay jadi kene siap2 kan address mana nk pegi & tunjuk aje pd driver OR communicate guna google translate..
we stayed at Lavender Hotel, District 1, it is sebelah pintu belakang Ben Thanh, memang sengaja pilih hotel nearby BT , night market & kedai makan muslim.
We were quite selective about the Hotel, it must be clean , good pillow & comfort mattress heheehe
well, the hotel is - okayy , nice , bantal best , clean.. cuma the furniture looks quite old. The hotel charges for 2 nights was around RM480 - Double bed. That one is for a room yang ada tingkap. if you want more cheaper pun ada, about RM 320 per 2night tapi no window. - okay je pun sbb balik utk rehat & tidur.
our room comes with breakfast..so we just take only bread, fruits & juice
view from our room - tingkap kecik aje..kalau nk tingkap besar, mahal lagi lah harga biliknya
hotel kami ni mmg sgt strategik utk shopping, i guess sbb tu the price is quite demanding, ada je hotel yang lagi best, lagi selesa & besar tapi jauh dari halal-food restaurant , by walking distance.
our hotel is at this street..just beside The Daun Restaurant
Ben Thanh
BT ni sgt besar, in fact saya yg kaki ukur shop lot ni pun tak pusing habis sebab:
1- Tak selesa nk tgk - tgk barang kalau si penjual keep pushing etc etc
2- sempit
3- byk brg sama jadi pening nk pilih
what i did was, 1st i did the research
1- nak beli ape? - list down what u're looking for
2- scanning - make a round smbil scan items kat BT tu..
3- you have 3 days there, most of the items ada je di BT, luar BT (shop lot) & night market
so pilih la nk beli kat mana, (hasil dari result scanning tadi tu)
4- Nak beli fabric? - dari malaysia lagi I dah survey nk beli di kedai atau di BT. from my web survey i prefer beli di kedai, boleh bertenang tenang smbil pilih & fikir.. so kami beli di kedai luar BT
Kami borong kain kat sini je..very near to our hotel.. Lavender hotel sederet dengan Avanti Hotel , if you choose more nice & modern hotel than Lavender, bole book at Avanti because it was a new hotel, open in 2016.
Itinerary kami is free and easy, smpai hotel - check in -lepak kejap & solat. Around 2pm keluar lunch di The Daun Restaurant..lima tapak je dari hotel. hehe
each meal around 90,000 VND
jgn lupa try vietnam sandwich..mmg mknn diaorg kat sana..
sedap!
org vietnam suka mkn daun ketumbar like a salad.
lepas makan-makan , we decided to have a city walk..kebetulan masa tu ada APEC Conference in Vietnam, jadi tak dpt lah masuk independence Palace.
jalan-jalan smpai ke Saigon Mall, Takashimaya Mall - the newest & biggest mall in HCM
kalau ada yang teringin nk beli brg Cath Kidston bole beli di Saigon Square, ada yang bole accept MYR & most of the shop letak signage "no bargin" but actually you can try ..mana tau dia boleh bagi.
The CK stuff was considered as imitate items but i think the quality is not bad! just like the authentic item, moreover some of them were manufactured in Vietnam!
Saigon Square - shopping mall for local ppl
i missed few item that i reluctant to buy at the first visit heheeh
bila second visit VND pulak dh habis..jadi duduk diam2 aje lah LOL
view from the sky deck
nmpk mcm hutan batu kan? but it is actually not..they maintain the greeny
the building mcm rumah flat yang bercahaya tu is actually a cafe!
A very unique cafe..dari luar building dh nmpk each cafe sgt comel & very nice ambiance.
cafe - cafe apartment dh bercahaya dari skydeck (pic atas). Unik and kreatif kan ?
manfaat kan setiap ape yg ada dari dibiar terbengkalai ..
idea untuk melihat sunset ni datang last minute, kami mmg betul-betul utilize every single hours to the max .utk melihat pemandangan ni perlu melalui another side of HCM which is the newly developed area & It was at the hiway-bridge .. Ini lokasi sight seeing kami yang terakhir sebelum terbang balik keesokkan harinya..
my personal favourite things to collect as traveller
pelbagai jenis pulut yang nmpk menarik tapi kami tak terasa nk cuba pulak..
suasana pasar mlm ..malam tu hujan renyai-renyai. Jadi tak ramai pengunjung dtg utk membeli.
aktiviti mlm ke-2 mmg shopping till drop..antara barang-barang yang menjadi pilihan :
1- shawl Ariani
2- Duck
3-Bokitta
4-Telekung
5-sports attire
6-Superdry
7-Kain Pasang
no doubt, mmg berbaloi baloi shopping kat sini..
jgn lupa juga try their local foods like, sandwich , popia, talam ubi ..& kopi ais..
