5.20am - Left home for airport
5.50am - Arrive at airport and check in
7.10am - Flew into the air
8am (Viet) - Touchdown at HCM
8.36am - Bus 152 (5k) departs from international airport for the city. The bus is packed with backpackers except for myself and a viet couple.
9.14am - Arrive at Ban Thanh Market bus station and begin my walk to the first eating place Banh Mi!! Walk thru the Le Loi park and saw someone learning Argentine Tango.
Arrive at the Banh mi stall but was told that they only open after 6pm.. Disheartened, walk on to find some breakfast and saw this stall with chinese words.
Wanton mee.. (65k)
10am - Paid and left. Went next door for coffee(38k)by the road. Sitting on the little chairs. A cafe I was here previously. Feel that things have become much more expensive now. Or maybe im being 'chopped by carrots'. Was stoning when a young boy asked if I want to have my shoes polished. My brown Adidas has been with me for so long I can't remember how long and I always tell myself that this will be the last trip with it. Somehow I agreed to let him polish my shoes since he is so smiling and happy thou he say it cost 'fifty'. After 5mins of clean, wax and shine, I think my Adidas can now last for another trip or more. I gave him a 20k and he say ok. Well, then its quite worth it den.
10.40am - Went on my way, walk thru Ben Thanh market and tried to find L'Cusine to no avail. Saw a bookstore and went in.
12.25pm - Lunch time. Followed the office crowd into this noodle place and ordered a special.
Now we know..
The noodles soup is so so but the mango juice is power. So mangoey!
Now I know I had been overcharged at the wanton mee place and the coffee place. Sigh.
