BACK IN SINGAPURA!
Day 0
Met the peeps at koffeh bin and tee liv at the arepot. And when fifi came we went to buy onion (union) rings and coke! And that was where he coined the term "lol people". It's really insulting to those people so i shall not say what it means here. Anyway, after checking in and immigration we went to burger king again for some weird reason. The plane ride was so awesome...listening to the jazz station! I was thinking "wtf this song is in fallout 3!"
After touching down in Ho Chi Minh, we met HOANG! and we went straight to "The First Hotel" where shaun and nikhel switched rooms for the sake of practising I'm Yours and Here Wihout You.
Day 1
Started the day off with visiting the GoVap orphanage. I think it's called that. I can sympathise with the children there.. some were deformed/mutated ( i dunno the proper word to use) by some chemical called Agent Orange during the war. Or their parents were. So they grew up differently.. Anyway it was all relaxed and stuff... me and Shaun went around playing random songs for them, especially I'm Yours since it's so happy. I played without a strap so i ended up resting it on my leg which rested on my other leg, and that leg had to balance. hahaha!!! We ended up sitting down at some other room playing all the songs shaun knew. Improvisation for the win!
The war museum after that was interesting... i really liked the sculptures and photos. probably cos i'm so ARTSY and whatnot. And i just realised that a fighter plane is bigger than a tank. what the pong.
Then we went to visit the Le Quy Don high school, where I was antisocial and barely talked to anyone hahaha! Hahaha seeing zachary get mobbed by the two girls was quite funny. And then i performed I'm Yours with Shaun, and i dount anyone could hear me improvise my shite. Even if they could they were probably listening to Shaun's lol singing. So epically HIGH!
The reunification palace after that wasn't that interesting. However Fifi did have two epic moments there. On the rooftop, within one minute of each other. Firstly, Joshua bought Pepsi and then was like "What's this black stuff?" then Fifi said "MAYNE IT'S PEPSI!" ah... classic Fifi. Then we were looking at the garden/lawn thingum outside and Jeremie shouted "POKEBALL!" I was "WTP??" and then he pointed out that the lawn was a huge circle with a tiny circle in the center and a horizontal line running through it.
And people were singing Rooftops by Lost Prophets...
After that was Ben Thanh Market! But because of the Great Jeremie, everyone just calls it Ben 10. Avery's bargaining is quite epic...
Avery: "70, 000."
Woman: "No, small one is 70, 000"
Avery: "Ok bye." *walks away*
Woman: *grab avery's arm* "OKOK 70, 000!"
Yeah epicness. I bought awesome pink sunglasses, a few random dolls/statues, a few of those star t-shirts, a random balloon flour toy, and a cap(which i lost). The Pho Bo (Beef noodles) at Pho 2000 was ORGASMIC!!!! Now i really understand why people say Vietnamese beef noodles are awesome.
OKOK i think that's enough for today. I shall continue sometime in the future.
Till then, ADIOS! (i dunno what goodbye is in vietnamese)
