It started with a work trip of 5 days followed by “Graduation” trip of 4 days with the girls.
Work for me was generally assisting in the logistics aspect – room booking, airport transfers, group activity and other misc stuffs to ensure that the conference will run smoothly. Though the breakfast in Sheraton is 1 of the well known place with a good variety of breakfast spread, I hardly had time and mood to enjoy the food. In fact, I hardly had any appetite during the 5 days.
While, things took a turn when the conference ended on Friday and we were in HCMC on our own!
As we were quite tired, we spent the Friday afternoon in Kim’s café stoning and drinking cheap beers before Lx and I headed for dinner @ Ban Xeo. Anthony Bourdain raved about it in his show, but like what HS said to me over the phone “Not nice one la”….I guess he's right. It wasn’t that bad but it's not worth the effort for us to travel all the way there (quite far from our hotel).

After dinner, HS and his staff met up with us and brought us for drinks – a shop which sells tropical fruit shake (the jackfruit + mango juice, topped with ice cream was delicious!). That night, I had my 1st pillion ride on a motorbike and was holding to the back for my dear life as the traffic in HCMC is known to be quite 'scary'. However, I had 2 more rides on our last night in HCMC and it wasn’t that scary anymore, in fact I had a pretty good time and kindda enjoyed the ride.
