SIN CHAN , SIN CHIAU...GHAM.ENGG!

SIN CHAN, HELLO... THANK YOU!

From KLIA to Saigon Airport at Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), it had taken 1 hr 45 min. The airport was small but full of people waiting for their friends & relatives. Our agent named Kim, a fair size lady 32yrs old was already there.

We were taken in a mini bus to Saigon Hotel which was about 30 min from the airport. Nice hotel located near DOng Koi Street, the most famous shopping spot for quality goods in HCMC. The hotel was situated right on the opposite side of the only mosque in Saigon.

HCMC was mch more cramped and crowded compared to Hanoi. Thousands of motocycles were on the road. According to Kim, 7 million out of 8 million of HCMC population were using motocycles.

Some shopping and eating places recommended for whoever visiting HCMC. Places where most Malaysians go for nice baju kurung with beautiful beads, embroided tudung and telekung, designer handbags and lacquerware as well as all Malaysian and halal food. ENJOY!!!
