We wanted a very relax trippy so today was really just a free-and-easy day with no rushing for tour sights, squeezing onto tour bus or rushing for shopping. It's a whole day of just doing what we like....
We started the morning around 830am after breakfast, strolling along the crowded streets of Saigon and taking leisure shots...
Decided to go back to our familiar shopping area to "finish" up all the shopping we need. =P Bought my tonnes of coffee and most important, we had great fun trying and buying pretty ao-dai for ourselves and friends. Hahahahaha! Many thanks to the sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetie Auntie who patiently helped us with the selection. *wink* And due to Moi's "good" bargaining power, I even earned my "Miss Mafia" title with one of the pasar malan stall owners outside Ben Thanh Market. So much so that I got to "hide" myself whenever Moi passes the stall. Wahahahaha!
hahaha! No Surprises!! We went back to Pho 2000 for lunch. =P
Our Pho 2000 lunchie
Took more leisure shoots while strolling around District 1....
Notre Dame Cathedral is built during the late 19th Century and is open only sunday for church services so we were not able to take a peek inside the cathedral. The cathedral was actually "isolated" in the middle of a circle road without any direct connection to other walk-way, making the 3 of us wondered the convenience of visiting the cathedral during sunday service.
The closing time for Reunification palace is around 4pm so we did not manage to get in. But it didn't look too impressive in terms of appearance...
A rare sight, nearly "invisible" in Singapore...
Adjoined to this posh-looking little cafe along Dong Khoi street for tea break... the dessert tasted really nice. Both myself and Buttercup loved it very much. Blossom made a wrong choice with her coffee which was too "thick"...
Tea break : Lemon soda + Ice coffee & lemon drink
Took more shots...
It seems that vietnamese people can be rather healthy conscious.... on our way back from our leisure stroll, we spot a group of Vietnamese doing exercise at a park in the middle of a circle road. 
Thought of trying something different by tasting their fast food, Lotteria. Lotteria is like MacDonald.... maybe it's because of the Vietnam war but I did not spot any MacDonald but a many Lotteria, belonging to a Japanese food-food chain. Food was just so-so. We were more amused watching a waitress dropping plates. kekekeke!
Dinner @ Lotteria
Day 4 - 8th Dec 2007
On our fourth day and also the date of our departure home, decided to just relax and fill ourselves with vietnamese food... had a heavy breakfast at Saran Saran cafe along De Tham Street... We tried our delectable lemon drink and spring rolls... Me and Blossom had their seafood noodle (yellow noodles) and Buttercup tried their fried noodle which was pretty good. Yummy yummy!!
breakfast
Luan Vu got us a taxi at US$8... we enjoyed our trip thoroughly and our stay at Luan Vu. Was a little sad during our departure... had wanted to settle for some vietnamese food at the airport but instead the more affordable one around was opened by Singapore Prima Deli and so we had Singaporean food... SIGH... how disappointing. And of course the food was not comparable to those we usually have in Singapore...
In clockwise starting Top left corner : (1) Prawn Mee (2) laksa (3) Fried Nasi Goreng (4) Coffee & tea
