I am BACK !!!

Wooo... I am back from Vietnam !!!

Hmmm... it has been a tiring trip. Real tiring... walking and walking and walking for a few days... Fan Si Pan is really all about endurance. There is no tough obstacles but the distance that was covered was amazing... The terrain was basically muddy path and be warn... it is really muddy... and your shoe will get struck in them if you are not careful !!

And to my horror, nobody knows that June is not the best month to climb Fan Si Pan. It was only when Jacob sounded off at the camp site that he had read from Lonely Planet that June is a rainy season for Vietnam then did we realised the reason behind this great amount of rain water for the past few days. And, the camp site that i mentioned has a hut nearby where visitors can stay there for the night. But for our tour package, it was not included so we had to settle for tents. And indeed, it rained in the early morning... water seeped in... sleeping bags got wet... lightning outside... and cold wind blew in... YES... it was COLD... brrrrr....

And because of this rain, the view at the summit was bad. Visibility was very very very very very low... we could see nothing... and i was hoping to see China from there... but darm it... haiz... will i go again ? hmmm... will have to consider again... But Hanoi is sure a nice place to be at. The things there are cheaper then Singapore (Of course...). Can bargain at the shops and they have shops which sell similar stuffs in one street and other stuffs in another. Interesting...

And not to mention that i have "donated" USD100 to the people there... Someone, i don't know who had stole my money... USD100 = SGD 200 = 2,000,000.00 Dong. I was totally sad when i realised that... and the funny thing is that... my bag which contained the money was with me all the while... who could have taken it ? I don't know... i chose not to think that the money was taken by somebody that i know... so i guess it should be the locals... I am not rich... So, that amount of money matters to me... Darm... So no choice lah... cut down on shopping loh... So if you didn't get a key chain from me... you know why lah... haha...

Will post more photos and the specify details again another time... when the rest got back 1 week later... oh and did i mention that i came back to Spore alone. Because Jacob chose to stayed back with the rest and left me to come back alone... Taking the plane alone can be scary and i felt that when i heard from him that he chose to stay... but i got over it soon... and it proved to be a challenge...
