V For..
two things.. vietnam and vices. that's what we did over the weekend. it was a weekend of vices in vietnam. gambling, drinking, smoking, clubbing, eating and clubbing (ok, maybe the last 2 aren't vices). that was officially my craziest weekend overseas. to top it all of, tim's dad was extremely generous and took real good care of us. you might ask how? read on...
took an insanely early flight at 7.30am, which meant that all of us slept over at gabriel's place and reached the airport at 5.30am to check. when we reached Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), the first thing we saw was tim's dad and 2 drivers waiting for us. on the trip into the city center, tim's dad told us that the 2 drivers were for us and we could get them to bring us all over the city. i was damn shocked by that and i had a feeling that this trip was going to be smashing.
had pho (read: fer) for breakfast and just when we thought breakfast was good, we had no idea that it was just the start of a trail of good food coming our way. we went to a place called Nam Bo for lunch and we were treated with exotic food... less talk, more pictures..

what made it even better was that, for the whole meal, no soft drink or water was consumed. all we drank was beer, beer and more beer!! talk about a good life! beer, good food and free smokes. did i mention that tim's dad arranged us in a 5-star hotel for free and brought us into the hotel's casino where we could get free beer and smokes. haha!
went over to the famous notra dame cathedral and post office after that. i must say that it's quite a sight.

after that was dinner at another hotel for a decent with an obscene spread, which we almost died eating from because the food was so good. after dark activities involved club hopping over 3 clubs, lots of drinks, lots of smokes and very little sleep.
and speaking of which i'll stop at day 1 for the time being, because im still recovering from a lack of sleep since i came back. work's a bitch, will update again!
