Ho Chi Minh City

Cik and Ayu (kids and hubbies not following) as well as Lina , Mak & Abah went along.

The departure flight had a technical glitch forcing the plane to return to KLIA after a mere 15 min after take-off.  And then at the hotel, I needed to negotiate before checking-in as they wanted to charge way more due to the number of people checking in.

The traffic here is worse than Bandung. Bikes criss-crossing everywhere. After a while we get the hang of it, but I'd not opt to drive here. Scary.

A lot of shopping by them ladies. Gentlemen were reduced to boredom. What is more amazing there are stores here whereby their customers are entirely Malaysians. Apparently they needed to speak at least some Malay to woo customers. 

On the way back, we lost our camera. Sob!  The faithful camera had been stolen by someone handling our bags. Drat, damn Vietnamese.
