Ho Chi Minh - Jolibee and Monumento Look-Alike

The next series of travelogues will mostly contain videos and photos to commemorate how I started this year (2010) with one of my best girlfriends, Jem. Christmas '09 was just over and the new year was looming in the horizon. Out of the blue, Jem visited me at home in Alabang, and psyched me to go on an 8-day Asian tour with her from Singapore to Ho Chi Minh to Singapore to Kuala Lumpur and back to Singapore again. Suffice it to say that my first 8 days this year (January 1-8) was spent with one of my best friends, exploring new places, as we also looked within our souls and discerned our renewed spirits.

For easy organization, let me link all subsequent posts about this trip under the heading:
2010 Asian Trip

~~~oOo~~~
Let me first share with you these two videos Jem took while we were starting to explore the central district of Saigon. On this video below, Jem and I got excited when we saw a branch of Jollibee! This made us feel more at home.

And on this video below, we were looking for the Central Market when we passed by this rotunda. It pretty much looks and feels like the one in Monumento, Manila. ^_^



Looking at these videos make me miss Ho chi Minh / Saigon so much. I hope I can go back there some time, with Peter this time.

I'll be blogging about the other details soon. For now, let me go back to work. ^_^

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam - We Finally Arrived!


We left Singapore via Tiger Airways on January 2, 2010 at 7:45 a.m. and arrived at Ho Chi Minh City (formerly known as Saigon) in Vietnam at 8:40 a.m.

We were two of the first international visitors to Ho Chi Minh City this year!!! Weeee!!!

Before we finally got out of the airport (which pretty much looks like Manila by the way), I had some scary experience with the Customs...
