Da Lat and Nha Trang - on Vietnamese sleeping buses

happy before the horror ride started in the sleeping bus^^

A crazy bus ride brought us from Saigon to Da Lat... although I didn't recognize much of it, as I was the only one of us who slept, the others told me about the horror ride :) We arrived early morning (21.03.) in Da Lat and were welcomed by the morning market. We chose to have a warm noodle soup and coffee at a nearby local restaurant and watched the bustle of the market. A visit to the tourist office helped us to organize another sleeping bus overnight to Nha Trang. But before that we took a taxi uphill and visited the Truc Lam monastery with its pleasant gardens. We found the cable car to be too expensive... but the taxi took us downhill to some park where we wandered around and listen a small waterfall while taking a nap^^ Most of the big waterfalls were not worth visiting at this time of the year as it was dry season. We then went back into town, had a small lunch and then caught the sleeping bus to Nha Trang.

From Nha Trang bus terminal we took a taxi to our hotel. It was still time to catch some dinner and to enjoy some beer at the beach - what we did :) Unfortunately, all of Nha Trang is packed with Russian tourists. Felt like an all inclusive package tourist spot in Turkey :/ The next day (22.03.) was dedicated to beach time - a whole day lingering at the beach, swimming and reading books :D Ben and Tob used the time to take account for a prior bet they made back in Germany and got their heads shove :) At the evening a bus brought us to Hoi An.

Blackberry Z10 Bermasalah

Beberapa hari lalu temen saya ada yang kasih kabar kalau blackberry mengeluarkan ponsel terbaru nya yaitu blackberry z10 yang mengadobsi model full touchscreen , dan mulai meninggalkan model lama qwerty nya. Sebenarnya saya ingin membeli blackberry z10 tetapi saya ingin bersabar melihat review-review dulu dari pengguna yang telah membeli handphone blackberry ini.

Biasanya sih kalau ponsel model baru itu pasti aja akan ada masalah2 yang timbul, seperli suka ngehang atau apalah gitu, maka dari itu saya ingin melihat review masalah-masalah dari blackberry z10 ini sebelum memutuskan untuk membeli nya karena handphone ini terbilang ponsel yang cukup mahal. Harga blackberry z10 kisaran 7 jutaan.

Berikut ini saya kasih foto blackberry z10 hasil googling.

The Mekong Delta

The Mekong Delta

A relaxing 15 EUR per person brought us on a full day Mekong Delta tour. A bus brought us to My Tho, where we entered a boat riding along the river arms... the floating market was over already - if one was to see that, you have to be there in the very morning which means staying there over night... still it was nice to see the life on and at the river. The tour then brought us to some typical touristy stuff... traditional honey making, the making of coconut candies, popcorn making and traditional liquor pickled with snakes (we tried some of course^^). We then had lunch on a river island where we cycled around. Very pleasant! At they brought us on a fruit farm where we could enjoy lots of different fruits and in the end they performed some traditional play. The latter was a bit strange when some elder women perform a play for young tourists who can't really valid it and even have to hold back laughing - a bit embarrassing to both parties :/

If we were here in the morning we were to see the floating market :P

typical snake liquors...

Flo and I tried some :P drinkable but not tasty - they propose its healthy tho :P

The life on and at the river was nice to see

the gang cycles the island - only stomach sick Jan took a nap

However, all in all it was a great tour to see the Mekong Delta life and I would absolutely recommend it. Back in Saigon we checked out of our hotel, went to the bar from the evening before where our beloved waitress was happy to see us back and continued making lots of fun with us :D Later the bus took us to the hill side town Da Lat.

Tob and the waitress, who caused us laughs for 2 evenings :)

Our route to go through Vietnam - nearly 2500km in 11 days

 Entering Vietnam was really relaxed as we got our visa before from the embassy in Berlin. The only hurdle was our taxi driver missing the address we told him... and somehow he was really pissed about it - something the locals, who came to calm down the situation, did not understand either. At our hotel we just got to hear that two of us had to sleep at a neighbouring hotel, as this one was full. However, we went straight to some restaurant for dinner and beer :D

bus ride from the airport into the center

Jan encountered two boys: "look at this fat twins, let's give them a titty-twist and run away"
Flo agreed "oh yea! cool :D", while I shook my head "You sick bastards!" :P

 The next morning (19.03.) started with some good fresh baguette. Then we went to see the Binh Thanh market and walked through the center along street markets, enjoyed coffee, saw the old post office and cathedral and enjoyed the vista from the rooftop bar of Sheraton Saigon. A short trip to the Jade Emperor Pagoda before we went to see the old residential palace where we watched some propaganda movies of how happy the south Vietnamese people must have been when they had been "rescued" by northern troops from the American occupiers. Regimes must be really wacky to make up such stories :/ We then took a taxi to china town... we were unsure whether the driver really brought us to the place we sought to... however, after wandering along the neighborhood of a market we had dinner at a really local restaurant. Nobody spoke english and we just ordered across the menu (which was in English tho^^). We ended up with Vietnamese wraps and all waitresses starred at us while we ate the food and had a lot of fun about it :P However, they helped us a lot and it left us with plenty laughs as well. At the end of the day we enjoyed some beers in a bar nearby our hotel.

Our 4 week south east asia trip - start partying in Bangkok

Our 4 week south east asia trip - start partying in Bangkok

The first time that I go on a SOA-trip with a big group - 5 guys to explore treasures of Vietnam, Thailand and Myanmar :)

Tob, Jan (friend of Tob's from his studies), Ben and I drove to Frankfurt (15.03.) and took the flight with scary Gulf Air - which wasn't bad in the end, at least not the Frankfurt - Bahrain connection^^.

Flo (Ben's house mate) flew with Emirates instead, as he planned to stay a month longer than we intended to. Surprisingly, we manged to meet and greet him at Frankfurt airport anyways^^ Then we arrived more than an hour earlier than him at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi airport and welcomed him when he arrived. We took a taxi to our hotel Majestic Suites, but didn't stay long as it was morning (16.03.) and the Bangkok newcomers (Ben, Jan and Flo) were to do the sightseeing stuff. Tob and I took them on a ride over the Chao Phraya river towards the palace. There our group split: Ben, Jan and Flo went with a tuktuk sightseeing around the old center while Tob and I went for shopping at Pratunam market. The latter was a bad idea tho - never go shopping in Bangkok at weekends! The hordes of shoppers kinda killed us. Thus we just enjoyed a coffee at central world and went to have a nap at our hotel. Ben, Jan and Flo later joined us for a rest. Then we got ready for the evening. My old friend Christian, who I knew from my time when I studied at Chulalongkorn University, came over and we decided to have some all you can eat to be ready for a heavy night out.

Jan (l), Tob, I, Ben (r) and Flo (front). all you can eat with partial self cooking :)

With our bellies filled, we went to have some beers and buckets at Khao San road. Then we paid the Gullivers a short visit before we joined the models party at Mixx Club. Always funny to have your bottle of whiskey or vodka with some ice, cokes and redbull at your table. The drinks were good and the girls pretty and naughty without being hookers - best combination to enjoy the night :P

Tob, Ben, Flo, Christian and I - let's party :P

The next morning (17.03.) I took the guys to J.J. weekend market. But everyone was still too wasted to enjoy shopping, so we just chilled at the nearby park. Later we rode the canal boat, had lunch at Siam Paragon and finally a short rest at our hotel. We enjoyed grilled duck for dinner at a street restaurant in china town. Then we went to the lebua state tower (sirocco sky bar), enjoyed the view over the city and felt like the wolfpack of hangover^^

Later we joined Christian and his friends at Q-Bar and enjoyed our evening with drinks and dancing. When the others went home, I continued partying with Christian and Emmy at Titanium till morning^^

(back) Beenie, I, Flo, Ben, Tob and (front) Emmy and Christian.

The next day (18.03.) we went shopping to Pratunam market again... this time more successful as there were way less people on monday :D Later we checked out at our hotel, took the BTS to MoChit and from there a taxi to DongMuang airport catching our plane to Saigon - Ho Chi Minh city :) Time to catch some sleep after these exhausting first days^^
