I finally flew out of Singapore for the first time in over 3 years.
My last overseas trip was a solo one to Taiwan in May 2019.
This time I went to Ho Chi Minh City with Ms Doraemon who for the first time, set foot on Vietnam soil. It was my second time visiting Vietnam as I went to Da Nang in 2018.
We brought only 3.26m Vietnam Dong cash which is equivalent to less than SGD 200 for a 6 days trip.
Flight and accomodation adds up to less than SGD 500 for 6 days.
This is a budget trip as we intend to experience local lifestyle without splurging on luxury items nor fine dining.
A local aircon bus from airport to district 1 downtown costs only 10k VND for 2 pax or SGD 0.57 only.
A simple bowl of chicken pho costs 50k VND or SGD 2.85 in a restaurant.
I am merely in the second day of this immersion trip and hope to enjoy more surprises and geographical arbitrage deals in the next few days using the "millions".
This is a short getaway from work after one quarter of year 2023 gone as well as to rehearse for future travel trips to come.
Thanks for reading.
With love & peace,

DeleteHi Qiongster,
ReplyDeleteEnyoy your well deserved holiday in Vietnam.
We visited Vietnam (Hanoi and the northern regions eg., Sa Pa) last Oct. Very sceneic places with breathtaking views, humongous caves and beautiful waterfalls.
It was our third visit to Vietnam and we thought we knew the country after visiting it twice. First time was to Ho Chi Min and second time to Hanoi. This third time visit trumped them all.
You can get a glimpse of what the country has to offer from this video. Words cannot describe the beauty of the places.

Hello mysecretinvestment,

Agreed that Vietnam is an amazing country and place.
I just came back last night and still feeling nostalgic about the place.
All the best in our future adventures!
