Arrived dead in the night again!

Unless you are an extremely patient person and has a butt of steel(literally). Do not take the hard seater of the trains in vietnam!!. By hard seat, they are REALLY hard!! like Wood hard! Even though the price is really cheap, its just not worth it.

14hours later, at 10pm. Arrive at nha trang to connect to dalat. The last bus for the day had left and i will have to catch the bus the next morning. During long endurance on the train, i promise myself to lie down comfortably on a nice clean bed after a hot shower. This is also where i paid the most a night of lodging.

Most expensive lodging award! Nha trang Prince hotel!

Nice hotel with air con, glass toilet, mini fridge and clean bed. All for just 10 USD. (actually i found out the next morning that i overpaid. But WHO CARES!! I needed it!

Plus i saved quite a bit staying with ivy the last week.

Weird looking but tasty snack

My agenda for coming back is to attend my friend Hoa’s wedding.

The wedding couple!

A typical wedding dinner in vietnam would have about 5-7 dishes. Surprisingly the customs is somewhat similar to that in Singapore as well. :D

Hao looked really pretty and happy on this day. Her family including her parents, sister and brothers were there.

Even though it was held in a 4 star hotel in dalat. The food however was average. even Uyen said so.There were about 15 tables in total.

TADA! Pork tongue! EWW

I had planned to leave the next day but was convinced by my friends there to stay another day. I had travelled 500km all the way back here and would take another 500km to head to my next destination. In total that would be more than 20 singapore length!!
