Annan line (6)

In the morning a little car wiggling into the Saigon City – this is full of small bourgeoisie, and breeds love story of the city.

Just now because one revolution and veteran Memorial, changed his name to Ho Chi Minh City, but local people and tourists are still used to call it on SAIGON.

Enter the feel like a big city, building on both sides of the road at least begin to gradually increased.

Maybe it is time to town, it's still too early in the dark is no pedestrian, but can, under the dim lights on both sides to see both sides of the building still retains France colonial style, like baroque house, Green Shutters, beige walls, trees on both sides knew is elderly, tall and very sturdy. Southeast of heat waves in the early hours of this time has not yet completely evil, but in the window edges can feel a little with a salty wind blowing in from the slit, let the sultry sardine's buses, feel as though I was feeling cool when discovered, asphyxia from oxygen, is very valuable. Those bumpy road surfaces made of neural fragile foreigner who has opened the eyes of the sleepy eyes, nothing out of the reluctance of tingly, hit a gas and your sleep.

Probably around 6: 30 in the morning and parked the car in the Sai backpackers are most familiar with the van without street nearby.

Get off and take out the original online strategy evaluation found in a good hotel, in fact, in the OPEN TOUR Office nearby, results when we found the hotel that has been diverted to a message, it appears that the Internet is also incorrect. So in OPEN TOUR scheduled to start in the morning at half past eight day tour of the Mekong River, is about $ 9. And then the package is still in Office, with the pony in Jin Jin and together to find the hotel, in the vicinity of the street we ran well them similar hotels, is not a room feel not good is the price is too expensive, and they separated in search of the Jin Jin, resulting in the back of the van without old met is to check out going to Phnom Penh in Shanghai and Guangzhou girls (sorry I do not know what they are called), and we met from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, a road in Hanoi Street, hue Street met, results in the last leg of the Sai is they left Viet Nam on the day and they again, it seems that fate. So in their recommendation we rented they lived in the hotel, it's good that the room has a balcony facing the street, 13 u.s. dollars a night. They clean up after you finish your luggage, a large Pack a small packet of pressure in the body start to go hire a car to the airport to catch the last 10 o'clock flight to Phnom Penh, we because time is arranged, watching them three people excited to leave the hotel, we envy's death, he kept saying longge also had more than a few days, we can talk to their peers, and see the 40s man to anxious. Finished, we put the luggage from the Office and brought into the hotel room, settled, a bath for clothes ready to participate in the Office waiting for a bus tour of the Mekong River.

To be honest the Mekong tour program is exciting, because of previous experience, discover the Mekong Tour project arrangements can only be very general.

Content is the cars then go to the Pier near the River, take a boat tour along the Mekong River, en route to visit several villages, lunch in one of the Mekong village with dinner and tour of the Bank – is the lover of Tony and France girls meet in the place, now is the fruit market, and then on one island drank honey tea with characteristics of Viet Nam, listen to the local folk music, probably Heures ship to the dock, and then ride back. The whole process is probably worth remembering in the Middle, and so is listening to music, there is a big snake in cages, playing for people, photo, longge restless ran, trembling of the snake hung on his neck so that my photos, my side photo action slightly slow, there is tilted longge mouth worse, he kept by shouting "fast, fast!" seemed to be his "brave" is also limited, the Snake's tail has been tied to his neck, around onlookers more and more, several also took out his camera shoot him. Then this experience in longge mouth has been mindful of the road, has already see themselves as heroes, self worship.

In the evening, we stroll around the hotel, by the way, to find a House of Viet Nam, the Office of the air in the hotel on the edge of the back of the ticket confirmation for a moment, but there is also a need to receive confirmation of service charge, 5000, while former Viet Nam shield, but at home never seems to this charge, well away from didn't have a way, almost as 2 block 5 RMB?

The Office told me that there are direct buses to the airport, but time is not fixed, tell me the airport name is "new Shan airport" However this name in Viet Nam in pronunciation is like a "strange" carbonated duck. Here we also encountered a pony in Jin Jin and, also in the vicinity of the hotel is found suitable, because rush home to come here to booking your flight, so we keep them in Vietnam Airlines offices also exchanged a few words, see these two Sichuan girl said a mouthful of standard English, and the very longge envy, and just for your own virtual long 1 m 8, big sigh years go by youth no longer!

Hiram's most famous shopping street called dongkai road Nanjing Road in Shanghai, as if, seem more compared to Nanjing Road and many deserted, dongkai road there is a very famous rice noodle shop called "Jade will", seating capacity, but the two sides of the wall is covered with various color antique and game avatar specimens.

Rice noodle shop chairs are made of mahogany, move away seats to of your strength. We point out the most famous beef rice noodles, and Heineken Beer, the outcome of a meal spent 17 million guilders, the Viet Nam is poured down stream out. However, rice is delicious is also okay, that's about 10 dollars. In this street there are many on both sides of Japan opened the door station restaurant, full of many said Japanese girl in Viet Nam, some dressed in traditional Austrian generation, very elegant, but when I go through them, they are all in Japanese Greetings to me, feels like I'm Japan visitorsThat fucking gas, like who doesn't like, dog Kai Li minute.

In the middle of the street and Pinarello road intersection has an Opera House, the building of Saigon is magnificent, in the Opera House on the edge of a five-star hotel, like the hotel's name after the name is translated or helmsman of sailing, I forgot, this hotel has a total 9/f, the most famous bars in Sai Kung, called SAIGON SAIGON, the three of us went there was amusing to see exactly what Sai's nightlife.

The restaurant, bar, it was an almost with Shanghai Xintiandi, very trendy bars, a look at the bar with the color I seen seen in wine, so we sit on the balcony overlooking the entire Kung town at night, remember that the front is the Opera House, is the Town Hall the Western style of architecture. Bar arena several Philippine singer in the swinging body, singing familiar English songs. So I asked the waiter had two cups of a free Cuba and a lemon and a bottle of mineral water under the cloud, took out early ready for cigars to longge, point your favorite pipe, keiya laid-back, this is the essence of life! miss several Viet Nam in front of our eyes, the eyes fell on the sat as a wisp of smoke, slowly drop from Xiao Wang bad said, two brothers before travelling on to not ride?, if you really take me really worry that can't afford to pay your room rates? ^ _ ^, left left, maybe say is Ningbo dialect, from our more recent one desk about Taiwan compatriots, curious eyes looked at us, we must suspect than was there in person, by the President of you fellow, do not know the front asked an Angel, really do not know the number of rites. This cost is not cheap, about 23 US dollars (with service charge). Nevertheless managed to open their horizons, this trip abroad from lay consumer to luxury we managed to miss the music is imparted.

The next day, our free activities, you can get up late in the morning, but I didn't lie, go out to the girl working at the hotel about the HINHIN Cathedral and post office address, go straight into the fight.

In fact, just yesterday dongkai road end. Sure enough, the classical Kung post office is, I remember it right in the middle of the Hall also hung with Uncle Ho Chi Minh, is on both sides of the head of France's early draw the scroll the map. I post office bought a dozen postcards, and a many years of old mail in the past, he did not know that I went to Viet Nam, on my back 15 days after he received this message, call me, give me the beginning of the first sentence is: also in Viet Nam? Church on the edge of the post office, it seems someone in their prayers, I inconvenience to disturb, plus my firm communist elements, fear God be disrespectful, so hurry to leave. The Church followed by a relatively large, Sai Kung, senior market — diamond Plaza. Because I go early, there is no door in Pats photos around, rush to do other things, because today is from Kevin's birthday, she is also the return of the catch in the alien's birthday, so I decided to find a good place to go to the environment have a good, congratulations. At Kung TV on the edge of I found a special dish of Viet Nam do hotel, but they do not accept the reservation, that is to follow, it seems that business must be good to talk with the proprietress, try to help our time reserved seat. The results of our evening came when they became friends, only on the balcony gives us an edge sits, feel good, mosquitoes, and gave up. Then the three of us turned to another, the senior, I remember names like call HOIAN (Hoi an) Viet Nam restaurant, specialized production of Viet Nam, in feudal dishes found few people, but the furnishings are mahogany furniture, including the seat bench, several foreigners sit at the table before dinner. Waiter leads us in a table in the front seat, get recipes turn out, it was a breath of sweat, my mom's — and every package cheapest to 25 dollars, the waiter said quantity or very little, at least 40 dollars a copy of the key points of the package is enough to eat, but this is only one person. Then the three of us not to 120 dollars, is not the wine, the mother of robbery! Xiao Wang feel yourself such a birthday is just playing with bankruptcy, so not worth it, and then begin withdrawal HOIAN. But soon the edge is not far away to find a better and affordable, a buffet restaurant, Eastern Mediterranean architectural style is a style, a courtyard, which display a variety of meals-as well as a barbecue, a French food meals, three personal consumption however is 20 dollars less than this, it pays to die, so three people crazy Shuttle in Seafood Grill and barbecue table, I do not know shame for the hands of a chef there works of art, just like a cage has just come out, the greedy! also good to remember to small Wong sound happy birthday! otherwise we almost forget to this. ^_^

Run out birthday dinner we walk at night, wander about the city, after all, is the largest city, are brightly lit, and feel assured that many dressed girl riding a motorcycle racing in the street, the street than the capital Hanoi Street spacious lots.

In the Town Hall Square in the middle there is a statue of Uncle Ho Chi Minh, the laser light exposure, more brilliance and many, many visitors here photo, because behind this is the statue of famous buildings, Town Hall, the entire building style or the yellow walls, full of Eastern Mediterranean style of Baroque architecture. Finished, we also go to the diamond Plaza (DIAMOND PLAZA). Building shopping environment is good, with Ningbo silver too department store, 1st floor, almost, is also what to buy cosmetics and perfume, but in the cosmetics counters service looks absolutely beautiful Miss, one by one with the contest, has a sell CD perfume girl has asked me to recommend a aftershave, English standards absolutely can, although I ended because not used the taste to abandon the purchase, but I've been thinking, in Ningbo in shopping malls, cosmetics counter service ladies have with them the same standard of spoken? really questionable. Upstairs is almost just some clothes and household appliances and the like, but I saw some some leisure Wenzhou clothing brand thereSet the counter sales, such as "senma, forest bird", but also around the pick clothes also many, it seems that those clothes do fit the people here. From diamonds, we fought his way back to the hotel, taxi, taxi drivers to watch my camera asked me how many pixels? I truthfully answer told him that he is 500 000 (Kodak 7590), listen to me, he's from the car's closet-soar out a small camera Panasonic, Shivering in me a bit, saying, this is 8 million, more than you the good, also said that it was his son from Japan to the band, so I looked at the driver, about 50 open, a town of a dress, English is also pretty fluent, appears to be a seen side of the guy, but how you say it, the Sai should be a comparison of Western style of the city, in fact, in the history of Western civilization is also relatively early, of course, the more exposure. In fact the Viet Nam war 30 years ago more Ben on Sai did not cause much influence. But at the War Memorial in the list of those pictures and the image information seems to play is brutal, good in the war had now been very far away from us, we are not far from the Wanli came to this fought with our small country travel is also watching eyes? our sense of drivers brother, from face their own life, love and satisfaction? Kung is a city that is difficult to deny.

Car to the hotel, we get off at the hotel not far away, we have a miraculous encounters a girl and VENCEN them, the original girl to catch the night train to Hanoi, and then return home from Hanoi to fly, she is working with several met friends one by one, but the three of us just bought some unknown fruits come back.

Speaking of fruit from the Pinarello road night market, which has a name, in the fruit can buy time, also do not know how wonderful, so ask the boss, the boss is not good, only spoken had two fingers, mouth remembered "TWO, TWO", I could not understand its meaning with Xiao Wang, so play his long longge – body language, pick up the fruit, placed on the desktop, turned over two pages of the wall calendar, and then sign for fruit-shaped, meditating, boss and we laugh, smile of bee longge, said: to put two genius delicious. Besides girl they went to Saigon River at night, also bought about $ 1 a bottle of perfume called Miss Saigon, is to go back to doing hand letter. The three of us looked away slave girl, or another ball of fire, if only she had a safe trip home.

This is our last night in Sai Kung, also remain in Viet Nam's last night, because tomorrow morning at 10 more aircraft back to Guangzhou, then catch a flight to Shanghai aircraft.

This night we who did not go to bed early, I stood with longge balcony, smoking a cigarette production in Viet Nam, watch the bustling crowd downstairs, as if it all the way to the end of the line, or simply do not have a starting point, but for me, in Viet Nam in the last ten days everything hasn't seen enough, traveled, we so hurried away. Longge said no to Viet Nam before I was worried about here is not the poorest jingle ringing place that mind of Viet Nam or that one of the world war fengfei, but when you approached her she was not as she was, she's feeling that is familiar and unfamiliar.

In the morning, we pack up your luggage, a good backpack, probably at half past seven o'clock in the check-out, downstairs Viet Nam girl HINHIN or laugh especially sweet, as I said to my next time also to Saigon, and live their hotel, full of promise, but don't know what time the next time will come, when she is still here, however, it is worth remembering that I in Saigon in this city one of the corner to know this beautiful girl called HINHIN.

After breakfast, we call a taxi to the airport. Remember the fare is about US $ 4, driver services very thoughtful, you help us with your first moved to from a car, it is necessary to know luggage after the long journey we backpack is not like came so slim, completely fill a mess of gifts and loot, near death, finished with our farewell, and very friendly to wish our trip, the feeling here is comfortable.

So at the airport we are successfully completed the relevant flight, one of the Viet Nam aviation staff, see our Queuing boarding needs is very time-consuming, also especially opened a new window as we do, then inadvertently found that was able to speak standard Mandarin, feel glad that finally encounters can speak Chinese people of Viet Nam.

Departure formalities is also very simple, just bought 12 us $/person's departure tax, so we put in the Terminal Hall on all without flowers of Viet Nam shield all bought where cigarettes but Xiao Wang at this point the most interesting or cosmetics, even alone ran to the counter at the Chanel up cosmetics, unfortunately the waiter also here really will say a few words of Chinese, you can communicate with her, which can be put to music of John, also asked people counters where Miss live?

The plane on time at 10: 05 a.m, arrived in Guangzhou's time is about 14 points of Beijing time.

On the plane I received a copy of the Chinese version of Saigon liberation daily, and watch the time from Viet Nam to Beijing time. And so we arrive at the Shanghai HongQiao from Guangzhou turn, have gathered in the evening. At the airport exit, coming to meet us back to Ningbo Yu master and master Lee already there waiting, see they really let us rejoice in it, they both because it correctly time early in the morning came from Ningbo, Shanghai meet us in Shanghai has spent all day. So we returned from the Shanghai and Ningbo, high-speed, large talked all the way, this little compartment left, is longge sound, we watched him just like to boast, but fortunately this more than ten days before he t…we are lucky. But anyway, longge fame has a small mouth and finally have a place, which can put the two bits to solutions for our master to Mont of a misdemeanor, and only heard of. But I'm with John as early as one day's toil in Misty sleep, dimly took a three and a half hours after the House.

Write here, I'm Viet Nam line

Travels to the end. To see and hear all the rows have been on my mind Lek Lek clear, as if it happened yesterday, is it always inspires me to keep this travels to finish. Because my heart always have what might not care. En route there are many memorable things and people here really unable to enumerate, but there's one thing I can say with certainty, it is through this journey, giving us three people at the same time changed to Viet Nam's view, changes in travel. In fact, before you go, including the back, there are a lot of friends are poor and backward to evaluate this country, but this is not the same as we see in Viet Nam does not match. Maybe to many Affairs evaluation we all made a preconceived idea, our subjective assessment and judgement in fact one-sided. Now if someone asked me what you think about evaluation of Viet Nam? I would tell him frankly a formula: diligent + sincere = harmony that is I visited Viet Nam, a baptism in flames after emerging country, a group of contentment living people, when they throw away all the thought of revenge, they will quickly catch up with our claim to be a heavenly Orthodox countries. In Viet Nam since years of war, rapid population decline until 30 years ago after the reunification of North and South, to adjust only paltry and now look at the age of 45 years of age accounted for the vast majority of the crowd, you rarely see the man in the street, but also because of this, making this country a lot of light, this is how a young crowd and country.

In short, for Viet Nam plot I seem to have no end, and if you still have a chance, I'll have to go back, as if Viet Nam is a man in traditional Austrian generation of girls, sexy and plane rides, as her country's territory as tall and shy.
