Tulipmania, Garden by the Bay, Singapore

Vietnam | Ho Chi Minh City | Mekong River

My favourite from my HCMC trip!

We're going to MEKONG DELTA!!! =D

once again, James arranged for a private car for the long journey.

Snooze time! 

Here we are, approx 1hr + later (i think)

We got a one of these boat to ourselves.

photo time!

 i had my arms wide open with full view of my armpits, so nah, i'll post these lovebirds instead. 

Puffy clouds, lovely weather to begin the day!

Was told to put on our life vests although i'm pretty sure i can swim out of the muddy water.

With our lovely guide, i really liked her. She's so motherly!

We got off at one of the island for a mini tour.

First stop, photo with the snake.

Nat's best friend.

Random props around for photos.

I need a long skirt here to make it work.

Next the bees, got to dip my fingers into the honey comb and taste honey first hand. woo!

A little food tasting and 'hard selling' of products.

Yea i bought a bottle of honey.

Afterwhich comes the highlight of Mekong!

We got onto one of these tiny 'boats'

Super, super congested as u can see!

We're horrified to know that the lady rowing our boat was pregnant with twins.

She shldnt be exerting so much strength! =(

So Nat and i put on our viet hats and picked up our oars to help ease her load.

Secretly tipped her at the end too.

I like this photo haha!

Then we went to another island for lunch!

Walked across this muddy water filled with alligators.

Just kidding.

Don't ask me why i'm wearing that silly hat, i'm still trying to figure out.

But there were alligators at the opposite side, you're allowed to purchase some raw meat for feeding.

Was too hungry I've decided to feed myself first! 

We went for the famous ELEPHANT FISH.

Watched them catched n knocked it out on the ground =S

There's the fish on our table, paid about S$60, comes with a lady to roll it up into Vietnamese rolls.

Finger licking good!

MUST TRY!

MUST TRY!

MUST TRY!

got it?

That's how we have elephant fish Vietnamese style!

i think i had about 9 rolls?

btw, do not order chicken. Worst chicken ever.

I'll go for the salty porridge instead.

Too full cant move..

after lunch we had a tour on candy making, bought some candies home. 

Again, the weather changed towards the end of our tour.

I think our tour guide was a little sad that we're leaving ='(.. not.

We were offered coconut on the trip back and i caught Nat littering on camera! TSK!

since coconut is dispersed by water i guess she can get away with it!

MEKONG DELTA IS A MUST GO IN HCMC!
