Vietnam Trip (21 - 24 Jan 08)

Been to Ho Chi Minh City of Vietnam from 21 - 24 January for work.

A unique city where there are thousands of motorbikes on the road, very messy way of driving and congested, and yet no accident!! Amazing!! You got to really see it!

I understand from colleagues that Vietnamese is unique in such a way that they were ruled by the Chinese for 1000years in the olden days, hence people's lifestyle and culture resembles the Chinese (most obvious are the food and religion); where later ruled by the Western civilizations. Hence one will see such a cultural diversification over here.

On the 3rd day of visit, I went to Vung Tau to meet customer, a small industrial city by the sea that is just a 1.5hours ferry ride from Ho Chi Minh. It's a peaceful city that is surprisingly clean. Enjoy it!
