One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things

Dearest Gibunk, I'm typing it on small table at restaurant in Tan Son Nhat airport. Yup, I'm in Ho Chi Minh. I had a really great time in here. Anyone who ever came here five or six years ago will see that Ho Chi Minh has changed. Saigon, officially re-named Ho Chi Minh City is a thriving metropolis. Ho Chi Minh has grown up in a hurry . These are photos of my first night in Ho Chi Minh. After landed and put the suitcases in my friend's apartment, I went straight to Quan An Ngon restaurant. It always pack with both local and tourists. The atmosphere is chaotic : a cacophony of laughing, chattering guests, shouting waiters, and clanging pots and pans. Seating is a mix of regular table dining in the central colonial or in the balcony or courtyard out back. The main building is surrounded by cooking stations.

Better if you go with someone who can explain some of regional specialities. I couldn't imagine what kind of food it was even though is clearly explained on the menu.

I ordered my favourite vietnamese food, spring roll. But I have to wrap themself. It's kinda homework for me.

After dinner, I took a walk on the sidewalk. Pleasant to walk at night in Ho Chi Minh.

Saigon opera house

We end up having a few drinks at Q bar. It has lounge area and outdoor teracce.

To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries. Like all great travellers, I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen.

Paradise isn't a place, it's a feeling

Dearest Gibunk,

It isn't what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about.


Some pursue happiness-other create it







Some cause happiness wherever they go;other, whenever they go




Don't take life too seriously. You will never get out it alive




Nothing can bring you happines but yourself


Life is beautiful....
