My JOURNEY to VIETNAM...


The Awesome Vietnam Experience....

One of the blessings I always have in life is to travel...I delight in travelling and I never thought I would be  able to explore Vietnam, one of the loveliest countries in Asia.

I woul like to share some of the amazing experiences I had, so here are some of the memorable pics...



at Ho Chi Minh City a.k.a SAIGON...


Mekong River Boat trip with the group...free buko was offered to us as we cruise on Mekong Delta.



a woman on the boat trying to earn a living despite the rain...


had a taste of the country's battlegrounds in the Cu Chi Tunnel...hmmm...it was not easy at all to hide in a place like this...


I tried to explore the 15 meters underground tunnel......wahhh....kakapagod din...yung kasyang kasya ka lang talaga sa tunnel...it was really worth the experience


it was nice having a picture with these soldiers...hmmmm....


exploring the battlefields of Vietnam during the war...amazing...

Motorbikes and scooters...the main mode of transportation in Vietnam, ridden by men and women of all ages and from all walks of life...

The Vietnam tour I had will always be something for me to remember....Hmmm...It was really a great experience visiting a country with diverse culture and with amazing countryside, a place with great food (I love their organic DURIAN and the morning glory a.k.a. KANGKONG) and its great people...It was nice talking to a Vietnamese who knows a little of English.  

I will never forget the underground tunnel experience...it was great crawling underground...I wonder how the Vietnamese managed themselves during the war?...

The DINNER while we are on cruise...I LOVE IT,  although it was a little PRICEY...the dinner was sumptuous...i had a great time watching the live entertainment with firedance....good food and great show!

I love our Tour Leader too...he was very accommodating with our questions and very nice to all of us.  

Well, I can say that my trip was really an AWESOME and a FANTASTIC one!
