HIIIII im in vietnam!!! :D finally. the plane ride was alright, except for 5 min where i felt kinda claustrophobic. dunno why.

well we reached the airport at 630pm local time (one hour behind sg's) and it had this weird (and not so nice) smell. dint smell like anything i've smelt before. but my bro and i termed it the vietnam smell. hopefully we dont come back smelling like it. hehe.

this hotel guy picked us up in his car and drove us 35km away to our Golden Sun Hotel (so cute right their name). the ride was very entertaining, what with him flashing at vehicles blocking his path with his headlights or whatever lights they were, and avoiding traffic and talking on the phone at the same time lol.

anyway i was quite thrilled when i found out they had a VAIO COMPUTER in the hotel room !!!!! and free internet AND cable tv with my favourite cartoon network hahahahahaha yayyy. the room's more than decent (much better than i expected anyway) with like heater and a super clean super neat toilet (which is of ULTIMATE importance - to all my aspiring hotel manager friends). it's a pity i dint bring my USB adapter to upload photos though cos HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW that they had a freaking comp here, plus internet. haha nvm im super grateful already. thank God!!! =)

but too bad im leaving tmrw to go further north to this place called Sa Pa for some village and mountain trekking tour, where it's SEVEN degrees celcius my goodness. we're really quite unprepared, cos my dad checked online and it said the coldest was 15 deg. apparently not very reliable. hehe. it's already 16 here in hanoi city center. so we're just gonna hafta buy more warm clothes tmr. hope i dont freeze to death.

ok that's all for these few hours it's 1015pm now, james is gonna call from US at 11 yay! goodnight my precious friends i miss yall and i know you miss me too!! keep me in prayer if you're free, cos it's not that safe here i think. yup take care everyone, or whoever's reading haha. xoxo
