Went to the Theme park in Saigon yesterday by bus. Left quite an impression on me. Firstly, from what I heard, the bus don't pull to a complete stop when passenger(s) alights or embarks.

Tickets are fixed at 3000VND (less then $0.20SGD) regardless of your destination. A ticket collector issues you your ticket upon payment when you have found a seat in the bus (if any). The bus doesn't have much standing space for a person of my height and I would certainly bump my head if the bus has to go pass a hump. Taking a bus is in fact faster (not to mention cheaper) then taking a taxi in Vietnam.

We found a glitch in the taxi meters which should increase every 10m (0.01km) but in actual fact, it increases by 0.01km in just a few meters. Which is seriously a pain in the pocket.

Thao told us that during weekdays, the park will not have much people which we thought that there would at least be a few groups of tourist or locals around. Well, what Thao said was what she meant. There was almost NO ONE, just some student couples whom skipped school to go dating in the park.

I felt that I have wasted 55000VND there cause of the not so scary Haunted house which I was entertaining myself by scaring the others. The roller coaster was a short and expensive ride which ended before my adrenaline kicked in. The only thing that I felt was worth my cash was the bumper cars.

During the bumping, some smart owner forgotten to take his camera out of his pocket and his butt landed on his camera when he got bumped. The impact was so huge that the camera fell out of his pocket, Young almost sprain his wrist, I almost sprain my neck and people can fly out of their seats if they didn't hold on to the steering wheel.

We didn't try the crocodile fishing as the water integrity of the boats were not well up to standard AND we were going to fish for real living crocodiles. As soon as we got near the enclosure, some of the crocodiles begun to move in the water. We would be dead if not of the metal fences that separates us from them, as 2 of the crocodiles appeared just right in front of us without us knowing.

Well, just finished lunch and I'm feeling bloated. Auntie took us by surprise when she took out the main dish when I was having my 4th Vietnamese "popiah". I ended up struggling to clear a bowl of rice and a glass of beer (offered by uncle). They really know how to trick you into getting bloated.


Well, I'll be back in Singapore in just 2 more days, going to sing karaoke in Vietnam today and doing some last minute shopping before coming back tomorrow. I need to get my camera fixed [=.=]

Ever felt like a millionaire? Well, I did. I have 1 million in my wallet now. It's just that It is in VND.
