message from the host TWO

Greetings fellow earthlings. I might have to warn you as this IS gonna be a lengthy post.
The holiday to Vietnam was words cant even describe.Its so great that i didnt feel like leaving. The roads of ho chi minh are so much different. There were less cars but hundreds and thousands of motorcycles which seemed like piligrims in mekah.Believe me when i say this because the population in ho chi minh city itself is about 9 million. All the time the roads were packed with motorcycles and since there was not many traffic lights, the vehicles came from all sorts of direction.The pedestrians had the liberty of crossing the roads anywhere and anytime they want.The vehicles wont stop to give way. instead, slow down and drive around the pedestrian.Surprisingly, there were no accidents.

Set aside the sceptical view of vietnam because i say that the country has its fair share of modern brands such as lois vuitton,dolce and gabbana and chanel.Even the toilets have movement sensored taps.

Vietnam like other countries has its own uniqueness.From the street vendors to the motorcyclist.Why the motorcyclist? well, helmets were only introduced recently and the motorcyclist were wearing all sorts of helmets from the kind that the roller bladers wear to the ones that the cyclist wear.Isnt it amazing?

The people of vietnam are very friendly and they will got to the ends of the world to provide excellent service.We were treated like royalty at one of the restaurants. since i am a muslim, dining was not a problem because there were halal restaurants .

Vietnam is so clean i swear there were no mosquitoes or flies in sight. The animals that i saw were birds,ducks,chicken and dogs.

Pictures will be uploaded soon. hope you enjoyed my story of vietnam.
