Coming back to HCM and the calvary of motorbikes swarm you immediately.
Never mind the mass, it is the amount of gases and dirt they generate in their wake. *chokes*

Due to fly off from Uncle Ho's homeland on the 11th, so the next few days were basically spent on getting souvenirs and more souvenirs.
Vietnam coffee and their special coffee maker was on the agenda. The sweet aroma is enough to make you open your wallets and bring a couple of kilos back, even though you might be a tea lover.
Besides the list of ordered items, t-shirts and polos were the catch of the day. At Ben Thanh Market, haggling is a must. Most prices quoted were at least 150 to even 200% inflated. A sharp tongue, you must have when you visit.
The market was a sightful, there were plenty of souvenir stores, dried goods, coffee and tea stalls, clothing stalls, bags stores, perfume stores. A shoppers' paradise... come come my fellow Singaporeans, flock real fast flock real hard to this new haven!
With the end of the shopping, the Vietnam trip have drawn to a close. Thank you all readers and this is your editor signing off from Vietnam.
