Shir's Life: 29-12-2009 - Vietnam Day 02

I discovered there is a balcony attach to our room..

Nice breakfast~ The french toast is so soft and nice~

French Toast..

Angele bought a hat..

Even though its a 2 star hotel.. But is quite clean..

Did you see the rectangles on the floor.. After yesterday then i realise they are the marking for night market' stalls..

This is the preparation corner for the lunch we had on the first day.. Its actually outside the stall.. Not inside or a closed corner..

How locals or tourist had their food if the regular seats inside are not available..

What Auntie Nancy is reading?

Vietnamese Newspaper!? haha~ Actually she is trying out her new spectacle..

The young and beautiful Lady boss..

The exterior of the shop..

After collecting our spectacles.. We saw this beautiful hotel so we "shop" it..

Opposite the hotel..

After touring the rooms.. we decided to move in straight! Since the hotel we have not pay for the hotel we stay and its before checkout hour.. so we went back to made payment and checkout!

Took some photos before we checkout..

The beds are bigger..

VERY limited TV channels.. Only one English channel - Disney.. >.<

After we moved in.. We went for coffee break..

A temple..

Scary cables.. lol~

Instead of iced water.. They serve refreshing Vietnamese Tea..

I ordered Vietnamese Iced Coffee..

Auntie Nancy's

Drip and drip..

TaDa~ the one on the right..

They also sell coffee powders and instant coffee on level 1..

We went back to Saigon mall to do more shopping..

Look at the motorists~

A new mall which i forgets the name =X Saigon mall i think..

Cake time~ We takeaway some for High Tea..

We went back to out hotel area as Auntie Iris say there is a famous restaurant for broken rice.. But we walk round and round ask alot of people.. They direct us to the same location but we cant find it.. Until a Tourist Police bring us right infront of the address, unit then we found the restaurant has moved! We are so hungry~ But still manage to find another broken rice restaurant..

I order this..

Refreshing coconut water~~~

Spring rolls..

After lunch.. Auntie Iris saw another beautiful hotel so we went hotel shopping again..

This hotel is very nice! Has jacuzzi! But not ideal for 4 adults per room.. Maximum 3 adults..

We went back to hotel and rest for a while then we took a cab to Water Puppetry Theater..

Drove past the cafe where we had our coffee break in the noon..

Luckily we reached early as the brochure state 8.30pm but actually is 8pm..

As i walk in i was wondering is it the one shown on Amazing Race? Angele say yes.. i believe it is..

Before the show starts, they will ring bells to alert audiences.. We could hear it even when we are in the restroom..

The cons of the show is the language they perform in is Vietnamese.. How we wish there is a translator throughout the show.. The pros are.. Despite the performers perform this skit for hundreds or thousands of time.. They still smile all the way.. I'm referring those playing the instruments and act as the voices of the water puppets..

After the show.. We went back to hotel.. Then we drove past a ice cream shop..
