Nicole's visit

Nicole came over from 16 to 20 Feb 2011. Reason? To extract her wisdom tooth.
Cost : 530,000vnd (S$33) vs "from S$600" quotation from Singapore.
The price is all-inclusive - x-ray, extraction, medication, an English-speaking dentist, a proper dental clinic (like any in Singapore) ... the whole works. After deducting VN dental fees and airfare, she still has S$200-300 for shopping compared to having it done in Singapore. So who wants to go next??

Dinner at MK Restaurant - Vincom Center














"Great" experience for Nicole at Aldo (shoes) in VINCOM Center. It goes like this :
Size 36 is a bit small. Do you have 37?
Yes, please wait a while ... here it is.
Size 37 seems a bit big, can I try the other side of Size 36?
Er ... sorry ... we lost the other side.
Oh dear. Never mind. Can I try the other side for Size 37?
Er ... sorry ... we also lost the other side!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We couldn't help falling over laughing as we made our way out. Can you beat that?

Molly's here

Molly's here with Nicole for a short visit from 19 to 22 Sep 09. Molly is Joyce's aunt. Booked the Cu Chi tour this evening and had a good dinner at Hai Lua Restaurant in Ben Thanh Market. Had a shopping good time, esp with the Crumpler bags. The backpack went for 500k, the camera bag for 350k and the 2 laptop bags for 390k/350k- the cost of all 4 bags is less than 1 in SG!!! 

Tomorrow, we're making a trip to Cai Be for our Mekong tour.
