Trip to Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam in June 07.

Trip to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam on 11 June 07. A different world. Stayed at my aunty's service apartment, had her chauffeur, etc. Quite scary to cross the road in HCMC, even when the traffic turned red, you will still have to wait and zebra crossing, oh dear...they don't stop...

1st day - went to a coffee place

At a shopping centre.

At my aunty's apartment.

Having a massage, while my dad look after his grandson.

My son, Zack

Having ice-cream on the roof of a hotel

My dad sipping on my red wine.

Having Vietnamese breakfast, while Zack had his pose.

A family portrait...hehehe...

After all the shopping, we stopped at a coffee place for drinks.

On the way to the Kun Chi Tunnel

Kun Chi Tunnel - War between Vietnam and America


My mum, grinding rice...

Phil "talking" to the wax man...shopping at the olden shop...

A station where the man is blowing the horn to warn of the Americans..

A hospital - An injured man and the doctor and a hospital bed and also a stretcher, when the war starts again, the nurses or whoever will carry the wooden bed...

Wax model of the Vietnam president...my mum and dad going down to the tunnel (dusty and hot)

My dad went down to the tunnel and up from a house....

A woman who lost her husband...
An underground tiny factory where they manufacture bombs, etc.... And my dad went down another tunnel and came up again in the bomb factory...lol...
Working on bombs.....A military hospital, doing surgery...


My dad behind a soldier hiding and ready to shoot at the Americans... A real old tank which was left there during the war...

My dad "driving" the military car (I think is the Americans)


A old truck and plane used during the war.
My dad got Zack on his back walking at Chinatown in HCMC.
Dinner at a Vietnam restaurant
Last minute packing, heading to the airport back to SIN.

Before heading to airport, went for Vietnamese breakfast.

Zack playing with the girls in the restaurant.

There are more motorbikes on the road than cars. They use motorbikes for delivery too.

Motorbikes and more motorbikes... Can you see a motorbike with family on? 1 kid on the front, the dad, another kid and the mum.


Another motorbike. Delivery I guess. Another motobike with 3 passengers.
