hi, greetings from HCMC! Wow these few days rain comes and goes..... Just went to Mekong Delta today.... Nice one!

As for shopping, nothing much explored. Been to Ben Thanh mkt... Oh ya, VIncom is it quite near the Opera Theatre deh? Wow these 2 days done alot of walking, in Singapore hardly walk so much is a good exercise! Today walked from D1 to D5, intend to find An Dong Plaza but can't find.... walked whole stretch of Nyugen Trai St.... but not bad, alot of things to see anyway.

nt exactly v near, maybe 10, 15 mins away? frm my hcmc n hanoi trip...those agencies will pick u outside hotel, go to other hotels to pick up more ppl, then to destination....

no need to book in advance while in sg...book when u r there, either with ur hotel or go to agencies directly also can....

techadd can help book hotels....

I see..cos i scared they might have shortage of vacancies for those tours no?

wont lah....there are so many tour agencies, including plenty of imitation sinhcafe agencies in district 1 area..... ( genuine agency's offical name is changed to sinhtourist, but sinhcafe name still widely used )......


can ask hotel to book for you, to save yourself the trouble....coz if any probs, they can help you.....when i was in hanoi, van from agency to pick us up was late 15, 30 mins...made me so panicky tht time, had to call to ensure.....

or book ownself with any agency.....but if you first timer, want to feel more secure n want to book ownself......, stick to sinhtourist.....the website is below.......their sinhcafe website still works, but forgot the link....many imitation links also......search for address in hcmc.....

dun bother asking hotel where is sinhtourist, coz they will ask you to book with them instead...which is natural lah...hahaha

Out fm Honghan, turn left and walk all the way to a junction, you will reach roadname De Tham St, turn left. Opposite side of road, you will see a very big signboard that shows, The SinhTourist. Is very prominent, you won't miss it. Go there and book 1 day in advance can liao, sure got seat one. Me just back last wk, but they don't provide pickup from Honghan Hotel, so walked there, takes only abt 10min nia. Wanted to post a pix of the shop here but don't know how to.

pai seh ah.. the pic not very clear as it didnt show the whole signboard.. hehe..
