First Vespa Ride

Driving around Vietnam is no easy feat, more so if you're walking. Those who've been here will know what i'm talking about. heh.. You just have to walk around like a blind man amongst the throngs and throngs of motorcyclists zig-zagging past you. So, imagine being said motorcyclist. Gosh. I was the pillion rider of my dad's ex secretary, riding on her Vespa around the city. Although everybody was riding at an average of 30km/h, boy was i terrified!

But because the scenery was beautiful with the old buildings, lakes, etc, and with the cool breeze caressing your face while riding around, it pretty much calmed my nerves a little bit. Nonetheless, i was constantly watching out for other motorcyclists, for fear of them or us coming too close to one another and pressing my legs closer to the bike, seriously, there were so many of us the street had a traffic jam of motorcycles! Crazy man i tell you.

It was a good experience tho, where we sat by the road side and have drinks and food just like the locals, which i dont i'll be able to do so with my family as only my dad understands slight vietnamese.. Actually, i picked up a few words also, like beef, noodles, good, papaya, icecream, chocolate, rain.. hahaha.. Not enough to get by.

Oh! And i did some happy shopping today! RM10 for a pair of heels, RM5 for a bra and RM1 for a panty. Tell me that is not insanely cheap? So happy! But finding something nice is like a dime in a dozen. Got to lower your expectations and sharpen those visions.

Tomorrow, we're heading to the silk factory. Mum's gonna go berserk there. Lol.
