Blueyjerene: Vietname Trip Part 1

Hello, I'm back.

First of all, I went to Vietnam for about 5 days with my mum and my brother. I had a seriously best time throw away the busy mind and just relax and go travel. Let me tell you. In many people’s point of view, Vietnam is a small country or not a high technology country. The places are dirty and they don’t have some so called high class heaven (shopping mall stuffs). The truth is, they do have beautiful places, nice people, nice shopping malls, branded streets and gorgeous historical buildings. The places are not like what we think it is, it is completely different than what you think about it. For example, the toilets, they are even cleaner than Malaysia. Their wet market’s toilet is even cleaner than us. It is very clean and dry. Not like in Malaysia they are smelly and wet. Toilets here in Malaysia are very stinks. It is the reason why I don’t like to go public toilets. People there are very nice and polite. For example, when you want to buy shoes and before you buy, you must try it. Sales girl or boy there will actually help you tie up the shoes ties for you when you are trying. In Malaysia, they just give you the shoes and you tie yourself. Am I correct? People, learn from them.

Let’s begin the story. In this first part, I would like to introduce you this place named The Former Presidential Palace or known as Reunification Palace (Vietnamese: Dinh Thống Nhất). It was built on the site of the former Norodom Palace, is a landmark in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. It was designed by architect Ngô Viết Thụ and was the home and workplace of the President of South Vietnam during the Vietnam War. It was the site of the end of the Vietnam War during the Fall of Saigon on April 30, 1975, when a North Vietnamese Army tank crashed through its gates.

This is the full building of the palace.

Here are my mum and Aunty Rose holding their hand like a small kid. :D

Everything in the kitchen were imported from Japan.

Everything in this palace is all originally from the past. They are all preserved until now and be a museum and let visitors to visit. They do use this place for any functions and it will be closed. We were lucky enough to visit this place due to no function was held. Great place to visit.
