Yeps, I'm back from Vietnam; miss me? XD Well sorry for taking so long to post, I've been dead beat since I reached home; we didn't get a rest day and I had to slave through 10 hours in school on Friday. T_T

Anyhow, here I am writing about my trip, so yay! Overall the trip has been absolutely fantabulous, I really miss everything about it; the bus rides, the mobile lessons, our tour guide Long... But yeah all good things must come to an end, and what follows will be something good that will in turn begin. ^^

Since long ago I've been looking forward to the trip. But not so much the time that'll be spent there in Vietnam, more like the time spent _getting_ to Vietnam. Yes, I was looking forward to the plane ride! My first and last plane ride before this was when I was in Primary 2 to Goldcoast, Australia. Just imagine the excitement I felt when I was about to board a plane again after 7 years. XD

Unfortunately, my excitement pretty much backfired on me. Entering the airport I felt like such a foreigner; not to the country but to the airport and how the whole thing worked. I didn't know how to do the check-ins, the boardings, yadda-yadda. Basically, I followed everyone else like some blind sheep. XD

That wasn't too bad, it was much worse on the plane. On board I sat between Daniel and Ms. Lydia Yap; I must thank them for tolerating my stupidity and for helping me along the way. For one I didn't know how to use the seatbelt; I tried all ways and means trying to stick the two ends together but they just wouldn't click. > . > Then I tried plugging the headphones into the screen. > . > Then I didn't know how to take the remote out. > . > Then I spilt 7-up all over myself because I fiddled with the table-thingie. > . >

Well it was still fun; peering out the window from the next-to-the-window-seat seat, popping my ears, eating the food, using the on-board entertainment system... And yeah it was a smooth ride. ^^

So we reached Saigon safely, and checked into our hotel. I roomed with Daniel, and yeah in the process "learnt about how he's such a wonderful friend". XD After that we had dinner on a cruise ship along the Saigon River; it was a nice dinner with good entertainment.

The day ended well, retiring back to our rooms after that. Day 1 was spent slow and easy, just a little something that introduced us to Vietnam, I guess.
