Taxi at HoChi Minh

We thanked God we got important informations just a few days before we flied to Ho Chi Minh!

One, about the taxi...

I actually had booked a taxi I found in tripadvisor... they charged me 15 usd one way from the airport to the hotel. Actually the hotel offered me transfer service, 20 usd one way! But then, I canceled my booking (my hubby has agreed to cancel it) and we decided to find Mailinh taxi by ourselves... and we found the counter! Praise the Lord!

two, about currency...

We cannot buy Vietnam Dong in Bandung, so we have to exchange money at Vietnam. Our friend told us that exchange money at the airport to get best rate... we proved that it is true! One more way to get best exchange rate according to our friend Ben, exchange money at GOLD shops on the left side of BenTanh Market... We really run out of VND and needed to exchange some more money, but it was Sunday at that time and the gold shops were closed :-( so we exchanged it at travel agent.... lower rate than we got at airport...

Talking about gold, I read somewhere that we can buy gold bullion because gold IRA is acceptable anywhere... but I think bringing bullion for vacation is a little bit dangerous... *grin* Well it is a great investment, but we still need Vietnam Dong in Ho Chi Minh...

Ho Chi Minh Night One

Cliff wanted to sit by the window all the time... huhuhu... I didn't have many chance to shot the clouds... :-p he he he he .... I love to 'catch' the sky with my camera... I love to stare at the natural painting God has made for us... well, anyway, here some of the pictures Clay and I took from the plane's window

We finally arrived safely at Ho Chi Minh City at lovely night.... the ground was still wet, but the rain has stopped... the city lights that were clearly seen, welcomed us to Ho Chi Minh City... We have to be ready to explore the city by walking and best joint supplement will be very useful to be consumed! Knees and legs and feet had to work heavily those days, believe me! :-)

Online University

What do you think?

Moms do you still have desires to study more at university? May be at online university? I do!
I love learning something and I think we shouldn't stop learning in our life. I am university graduated however I still want to continue my degree and achieve Master degree of arts... hehehe... I have a close friend who is good at IT and coding although he learned his skills by himself, from internet! But he hasn't get any degree for he never joined in any online university. How about you? May be you are interested in getting online nursing degree to be a better nurse, online university is flexible, reliable and most of all - affordable! It is a non-profit online university!

In Flight Stories....

I have brought some important things, including camera, wet tissues, bubble gum for taking off and landing, even an acne cleanser, but I never brought a perfume to disguise Cliff's fart.. ha ha ha... may be I should think about it seriously!

Helloooo :-)

We has come back from our vacation last week... we went to Ho Chi Minh City and we love it! Here is my update for you...

smooch


Yeap, we love SMOOCH frozen yogurt! sluuurrrp! As far as I am concern, there is no SMOOCH in Bandung, so we didn't want to miss a chance to taste it when we went to Grand Indonesia Mall in Jakarta... :-) It has been months since we visited Jakarta again... Still many steel buildings, and still hot, although rain falls everyday...

New Adventures are planned

Yes!! Another adventures... :-) I looove adventures when I am in the mood *grin* Planning a holiday trip really needs a good traveling mood as it is not easy at all (tight budget trip :-) has to be smart and prepare ourselves with some knowledge about the place we want to visit).

After succeeded in conquering Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur (what?! conquering?! HA HA HA), we prepare our guts to go to Ho Chi Minh and Phuket... may be to Bangkok as well... I've booked the ticket to Ho Chi Min and Phuket already, and now I start to read Lonely Planet to get to know more about that two cities.... I probably will insert Bangkok between them too, if there is not much interesting places to see for us to visit.... If you have visited those places before, PLEASE DO GIVE ME LOTS OF SUGGESTIONS where to go, what to do, where to stay, what to eat, etc..etc...

Beach I am coming!! Sun glasses, hats, flip flops and sun blocks (may be I have to read wrinkle cream reviews as well), come to mommy!!! :-D

Theater Make Up



Looking closely to the players' make up is interested me so much... I love doing theater make up for my fellow players... I once learned how to paint this kind of make up for my own character in a drama performance, from Teater KOMA make up artist... when I saw this performance I realized that it was so typical... so 'KOMA' ... well I never saw any other real theater beside TEATER KOMA... so it's just like de javu for me :-) arrgh I can't find my picture in such make up! I will upload it later... as you can see, we will need acne face wash after applying this kind of make up! :-)

Grand Indonesia Jakarta

We went to Grand Indonesia mall, Jakarta... and took some pictures over there. :-) It was the first time for me to go there... though it is only 2 hours away from Bandung, I rarely go there nowadays. The boys has gone to the mall a day before (when I went to theater performance) and they were so excited to show me many things I haven't seen before... hehehehe what a thoughtful gesture! Enjoy the pictures! :-))


Small playground area....

It's me when I am old someday... hahahaha


But now I am not that old, and still need some weight loss pills


Tired to sight seeing and show mommy many things... waiting for mommy at CROCS outlet ^_^

It was so exciting, wasn't it? :-)
