HCMC Day 4 Part 1

It is a free and easy day.. set off from da hotel to some attractions in da morning. It a bad idea following da route from Lonely Planet! it took us 1 hour to walk to the Jade Emperor Pagoda BUT there is no pagoda!!! walk so far but nothing to c i damn @#$%&..the gals seems very tired for walking so far.. wat to do.. then continue following the route shows in da map. after 15mins we reached the second location. The History Muzeum. Luckily this muzeum is in its place!b4 getting in, i saw a stall selling sugarcane..its like a blood rush in me to get 1 to conquer my thirst. this sugarcane is da best i ever had. haha.. not meaning i too thirsty only i said that. its really nice as they added some pomelo juice into it also makes the combination of both juices PERFECT and it only cost 4000dong!
we proceed into da muzeum.. i dun like going into muzeum.. always i felt very boring.. haha.. but this time is a right time going in as i can get shelter from da hot burning sun.. after the muzeum, we visited the local post office. wat i can say is this post office is n times nicer than wat i ever saw in msia or singapore lo. the design is very old fashion but very interesting. It is also one of the tourist attraction at HCMC. all of them bought a postcard and send to their friends but for me.. who should i send le? hmmm.. better take more photos.. hahaha.. this post office itself has a lot of souvenirs for sale and i got my first item here.
after the post office, we headed for our lunch? PHO2000 is the destination. It is just located beside the Benh Thanh Market. From what they said, the former US President, Bill Clinton ever stop by to have a pho. The Pho from this restaurant is better than wat i had at Pho24 but i still think the taste is a bit blant. What i like most in HCMC is their drink! very very pure and it seems like im eating the fruit itself. hahaha.. im lovin it!
Satisfied with our lunch, we set off to the second bag shop "near" Benh Thanh Market. From da map seems very near but mayb with the afternoon heat, it seems very far. it took us more than half an hour walking to reach the place and the bag we wanted is not in stock! i saw RJ face already turned red. i dun dare to kacau her for the time being. so after coming out from the shop, i paced up to find a taxi. Luckily, a taxi driver stopped by jus a few shops away. Hopped in and we proceed to the Saigon Square, a place which also sells clothes, bags and souvenirs. The most important thing is, it is fully air conditioned! Unable to find my bag there also. Anyway, after this location, back we go again to Benh Thanh Market for some snacks to bring back. b4 stepping in to da market, stop by to have a high tea. I had a glass of sugarcane again and it was equally nice but felt that my head was chopped by this guy. 2 bottles of mineral water, 2 glasses of sugarcane and a coconut cost is 120000 dong! day light robbery!!! wat to do.. still need to pay! got half a kilo of preserved jack fruit from da market and its like in a war! so hard to communicate with this auntie! and her maths really good lo.. i oledi blur..dunno how she count da price but luckily HC is around..hahaha.. sorry r.. i always fail my maths de.. :P
